This is a handmade brand new Persian Gabbeh runner with an allover design that resembles red and white hounds-tooth, or very tiny checkerboard/polka dots. This is a fine quality rug with a sturdy thick, soft pile that can withstand very high traffic and will last generations, a hallmark of tribal Gabbeh rugs.  Its contemporary design, hand-knotted in ivory and several shades of red that slowly shift throughout the rug, creates a unique ombre effect. These natural variations in color are unique to those made from only vegetable and other natural dyes.  Much like a pointillist painting, the colors become more apparent as you get closer to the rug and note the subtle differences from cherry, to strawberry and tomato and back to cherry again.  Great for kitchens, kids' rooms, entrances and any spot that has high traffic and is calling out for color.  Size: 3'x9'10"
