Handwoven by the Persian Kurdish tribe using vegetable-dyed wool, this antique 1900s runner is a wonderful example of their skilled craftsmanship. Its intricate floral geometric motifs, arranged in a diagonal linear fashion across the field, add a bit of formality and grace. The rich hues of mellowed organic dyes softly embrace the naturally aged yellow ochre ground, evoking a sense of timeless elegance.
Its low wool pile, set upon a raw wool foundation, offers a tactile connection to history, resonating with the essence of the old world. Accentuating its charm are the espresso brown and antique ivory border bands, providing a striking contrast and framing the piece with sophistication. Though worn with age, this fantastic runner has a floppy handle and exudes a unique allure, its character enhanced by the passage of time.
Following careful restoration and a dash of TLC, this treasure stands proudly, a symbol of resilience and enduring beauty. Ideal for adorning hallways, kitchens, or walkways, it invites you to explore its storied history, where every thread tells a tale of tradition and artistry.
