Small stylized floral motifs and geometric details in ivory and light blue create a delicate, intricate pattern, while the antique wash lends the piece a beautifully softened, timeworn character.

Design & Color Story
The elongated composition gives this antique runner a wonderful sense of rhythm, with small stylized floral motifs distributed across the rich red field. Delicate ivory and light blue details introduce subtle contrast, while understated geometric elements add structure to the allover design.

The professional antique wash has softened the original colors, transforming the red into a beautifully faded, muted tone and bringing a gentle, almost painterly quality to the pattern. The result is a sophisticated balance of color, detail, and age that feels equally at home in traditional interiors and more contemporary, layered spaces.

Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted in wool, this antique runner features an allover floral composition reminiscent of traditional Mahal-style Persian rugs. Its intricate pattern, elongated proportions, and softened palette give it a distinctive decorative presence without overwhelming the surrounding space. The precise regional attribution remains uncertain.
