A wide cream border repeats the theme, with more vases among flowers, inside a light blue guard stripe. Pile runs low along the whole runner. It suits a long hallway or the side of a bed. At 2'8\" by 9'4\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravelers of the Safavid era remarked on the fine Khorasan carpets sold in the Persian Gulf port of Hormuz and in one of the main caravansaries of Isfahan. The Herat carpets are the classic carpets of Khorasan, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Kashmar lies in the Khorasan region of eastern Persia, and its workshops worked large. Wide fields, generous borders and a taste for pictorial and garden designs set it apart from the medallion tradition further west. This runner keeps to the pictorial side, with vases in place of a medallion. Indigo, cream and light blue carry the whole design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
