Beautiful And Extremely Versatile Grey Blue Antique Khorassan Persian Runner Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1920 – Somewhat amorphic figures, in the mysterious likeness of stars, flowers and leaves, are woven together in both a deliberate and organic fashion. Light additions of warm brown give these decorations a beautiful element of natural dimension by creating a shadow-like effect.

As the central field background progresses along the length of the Persian hallway runner rug toward the top, a lovely abrashed medley of blues and browns becomes apparent. Standing out from this beautiful backdrop is a delicate mesh work of light tan patterns, which have the remarkable illusion of sitting on an elevated plane. Images of feathers, flowers, and symbols create a hint of untamed tribal awe while still maintaining a distinctive sophisticated elegance. The framing border is a mellow coral color containing a simple design.
