It is paisley mania. This 1920s antique runner is overflowing with charm and deep tribal meaning, featuring the iconic paisley motif, also known historically as the "flame" motif, symbolizing eternal life and energy, repeated in the field, throughout the borders, and along the edge guards.
Woven on a rich midnight blue ground, this piece showcases a bold, high-contrast color story filled with warm rust vibes, earthy tones, and playful dashes of color woven into the decorative chain-like border bands.
Hand-knotted by weavers of the Kurdish tribe using 100% natural, vegetable dyed wool, this runner is wonderfully heavy, substantial, and built to stand the test of time, making it an exceptional choice for a busy, high-traffic hallway.
It carries some authentic scattered wear that highlights its century of history and adds to its cozy, rustic character. Take a look at the photos to appreciate its full story and soulful, aged aesthetic! Thx for shopping small!
