Feast your eyes on this antique 1920s Persian runner from Northwest Persia with luxurious and weighted wool. The quality can truly be seen and felt. The poled medallion design with nature-inspired motifs scattered against a striking steel teal blue backdrop really stands out from the crowd. As you trace the animal motifs, you might wonder if they're embarking on a little adventure or if the weavers are simply celebrating their cherished livestock.
In the corners, stylized female figures stand tall, symbolizing fertility and the nurturing essence of motherhood. The main border boasts a continuous display of floral art on an ivory canvas, while edgy mountain motifs guard the edges, adding a rugged charm to its allure.
Throughout the rug, pops of rusty tangerine catch the eye, adding warmth and character. The subtle shifts in color, known as abrash, lend a unique, one-of-a-kind charm that only time can create. Handwoven with vegetable-dyed wool, it exudes luxury, durability, and a softness that invites you to sink your toes into its plush fibers.
With fully bound edges and secure ends, this rug is a timeless treasure ready to grace a new home, where its story can continue to unfold in the embrace of those who appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.
