Description
Hand woven in wool between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Persian kilim runner enjoys a rare subtlety in the variation of its rich colorway, expertly complementing the geometric pattern for a sense of movement both easygoing and reserved. Alternating tones of burgundy and red invite the eye to the meticulous blue, pink, white, and brown accents upon the field geometry, a textural high-low weave lending dimensionality around a variety of intriguing, seldom-seen classic symbols. Some of the varieties include the protective eye, as well as possible references to gazelles and canines—the former meant to signify virtue and grace while the latter further conveys the theme of protection and trust the weaver—a diverse array of intriguing geometry complementing every level of appeal in this classic piece.
