Ohhh this one has lived a life…and you can feel it. A worn antique Persian runner with that dreamy water garden design drifting down the length, Herati motifs dancing across a deep navy blue ground that’s softened just right. The vegetable dyes have mellowed into that perfect farmhouse meets shabby chic palette… faded blues, blushy corals, warm tans…nothing loud, everything seasoned.
The decorative spandrels at each end sit on a tan ground and frame the whole piece like a quiet wink. And those border bands…alternating paisley motifs marching along in different colors, giving it rhythm and great composition.
This is the kind of runner that looks incredible in a relaxed hallway, layered over wood floors in a country kitchen, or trailing through a cozy cottage space. Not for super high traffic zones…she’s earned her softness and deserves a little respect. If you love rugs with soul, fade, and that old world vibe…this one’s speaking.
