An alluring combination of a tribal feel, coupled with a refined village sensibility, produce a cultivated, rustic Northwestern runner rarely seen. The field possesses distinctive feathery leaves creating a loose latticework, while the ivory corner spandrels cut into the field with unique looking motifs of abstracted gold vinery. Throughout the field there are many small, spontaneously drawn elements that offer a wonderful playfulness and variety in this antique runner, while conversely the main border features a equally appealing detailed and structured approach. Like all of the runners in our new arrivals, its standout condition ensures decades of floor use.
