This handmade fine quality vintage Persian Sarough Mir runner from the 1980s is in mint condition.  The allover repeating intricate paisley (known as boteh, an ancient precursor to the paisley) design is made up of tiny knots of royal blue, sapphire, yellow and white on a bright cherry red background.  The border is particularly striking and intriguing - an ivory frame of intricate geometric details that almost resemble hieroglyphics. They are woven in sapphire, yellow, royal blue and red, surrounded by thin rows of royal blue with small colorful geometric motifs.  All colors are made from only vegetable and other natural dyes.  This runner is perfect for high traffic areas and anywhere you want to add color and softness underfoot.  This rug is fine quality and has a noticeably soft thick pile that will last generations.   Size:  3'8"x10'4"
