This handmade vintage floral Persian Hamedan runner has elegant flower detailing and incredibly rich colors made from only vegetable and other natural dyes. It was hand-knotted in the 1980s and is in mint condition.  The rug's intricate floral sprays and bouquets revolve symmetrically around a delicate central medallion in watermelon pink, turquoise, royal blue and cornflower blue, pale shell pink and ivory.  The runner's lustrous backdrop is a unique combination of royal blue & black, appearing blue from a distance until you are close to the rug and can see the distinctive combination (See last photo for close-up). It is the perfect setting for the elegant flowers hand-knotted in a beautiful array of soft and pleasing colors  that mirrors the colors of the medallion, adding heather gray, moss green, fruit punch, olive green, sapphire and white.  All of these floral bouquets are framed by a champagne border of geometric flowers on the vine, surrounded by thin rows of colorful small geometric repeats. This runner is handmade with a full, soft pile that can withstand high traffic and will last generations.  Size: 3'11"x11'4"
