This particular Persian runner marries an abrashed solid and striped design with duality of warmth and rich color, seen alternating in the length in this piece creating a very appealing sense of movement through the juxtaposition of pattern and the same fusion of beige brown and red colorway hues thereof. Further unique to this piece is the subtle, textural embroidery seen in the patterned stripes, lending a tactile complement to the classic traditional motifs, including references to the arrow/fetter symbol widely believed to signify familial union, marriage, and an everlasting bond sought after by the weavers; an insightful subtext complementing the cultured, historic look this item enjoys. Especially suitable in dimensions for hallway flooring, stairway flooring, and other discerning projects. less
