(High-Decorative)
This clearly drawn, quite abstractly decorated 125-year-old Persian runner offers an impressive display of ebullient modern colors and beguiling artistic nuances. Color planes created the single row of hexagonal medallions captivate the viewer, filling the spacious, open composition with tremendous life. Constant transitions from teal to indigo to azure animate field’s ground, enhancing the composition with a profound sense of movement. Consummate craftsmanship and heavy pile condition complete the offerings of this extraordinarily durable long runner.
