On the Design:

Admirers of antique textile artistry will immediately appreciate the timeless elegance of this runner, which likely hails from the workshops of Persia’s esteemed weaving centers. Unlike the bold geometry of nomadic pieces, this rug celebrates symmetry and botanical complexity.

The main field glows with a rich, luminous gold or soft camel tone, serving as a tranquil backdrop for a meticulously rendered allover repeating pattern of tiny floral sprigs. This dense, charming motif is woven in quiet shades of red, dark blue, and subtle green, suggesting an endless garden.

The central design is powerfully framed by a sequence of dramatic borders: an inner and outer guard band featuring delicate vines, and a main border that commands attention with its row of bold, stylized leaf and serrated medallion patterns executed in striking terracotta red and deep navy blue.

This piece is a testament to the weaver's profound skill and reverence for nature, achieving a level of refinement and versatility that makes it an exceptional piece of weaving history, lending grace and warmth to any hallway or corridor.
