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 elegant shade of sand with ivory, charcoal gray and rose creates the backdrop for a beautiful central geometric and floral medallion in soothing shades of shell pink, ballet slipper pink, royal blue, sapphire, silver and white. These colors are echoed in the rich floral corners and thick ribbon of border, with intricate tribal 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: 4'11"x11'
