A century-old piece of floor art with personality, this antique flat weave runner brings a featherweight feel that’s easy to handle and fun to style. Its palette leans into soft desert tones, with a hypnotic grid of tribal guls anchoring the design. Along the edges, a floral chain border appears almost like Rorschach inkblots, so you can’t help but wonder, what do you see?
Adding a playful spark, pops of tangerine brighten the mellowed dyes, giving the whole piece a lively edge that compliments the calm base colors. That mix of subtle and vibrant makes it very versatile to work with and will fit in to a lot of different décor styles.
Due to the nature of the weave, this runner isn’t the best choice for heavy foot traffic, but it’s perfect in spots where it can be admired without a party zone. To keep it grounded, a custom cut rug pad will ship on the house for this piece to help give this beauty grip and protection so you can enjoy the design while keeping it secure.
Flat weave, veg dyed wool. In very nice condition.
