This is an elegant vintage handmade Persian Koliai runner that is known as a "gallery size" for the ratio between its length and width.  It can be used as a wide runner in a hallway or entryway or as an area rug for narrow spaces such as in front of a couch or a bed. The chic small repeating diamond pattern in an almost copper shade of sand with ivory, deep blueberry and crimson creates the backdrop for an eye-popping central floral medallion in exquisite and rich shades of crimson, sapphire, midnight blue, turquoise, carnation pink, yellow, copper and gold. These colors are echoed in the beautiful border and thick rich floral corners with intricate finely woven details in the same beautiful shades, creating a very luxurious rug.  Hand-knotted in the 1980's, this runner is in mint condition, has a soft pile that can withstand high traffic and will last generations. All colors are made with only vegetable and other natural dyes.  Size: 5'2"x10'6"
