This is a stunning and striking vintage handmade tribal Persian Koliai runner of the finest quality.  Hand-knotted in the 1980s, this runner is made of fine quality wool that has a sheen to it in the light. It has a soft full pile that is great for high traffic and will last generations.  The runner is in mint condition and hand-knotted with a high knot count or KPSI (knots per square inch) for very fine and crisp lines. The bold geometric  pattern that runs the length of the runner is hand-knotted in vivid colors that seem to burst from the rug, made of only natural and vegetable dyes.  The champagne backdrop is an elegant setting for the bright candy apple red geometric pattern that is the focal point of the rug.  It is edged on either side with turquoise and midnight blue, colors which appear again prominently in the border. The diamond medallions running the length of the runner and their corresponding triangles are champagne with sapphire blue and pink coral details.  The border is a beautiful repeating geometric garland of flowers on the vine in the same beautiful colors of the runner, framed by thin rows of red with charming small blue flowers on the vine. Note that the final edge of the runner is three rows in champagne, pink coral and midnight blue. This runner really makes a statement!  Size: 3'5"x9'7"
