Overview
This long Persian-style floral runner appears to have a dark navy field filled with angular blossoms and branching stems, framed by ivory floral borders. Its wonderfully lively drawing is consistent with village weaving traditions, although the reverse is needed to distinguish hand-knotted work from machine production.
Story
Persian weavers turned garden imagery into something you could walk through. Here, flowers become bold geometry—a practical indoor garden stretched to fit a passageway.
Maker / Origin
If hand-knotted, this belongs to a weaving tradition in which skilled makers adapted familiar floral patterns to the loom rather than reproducing a perfectly rigid drawing. The individual workshop cannot be identified from this photograph.
Condition & Value
The photograph shows uneven pile wear, especially through the central field, with some areas appearing quite thin; the ends are not fully visible. Wear limits resale value, and any exposed foundation or repairs would matter further.
