11071 · 2'11" x 11'5" Persian Shiraz Runner Rug

Six spread-winged birds stand one above another down this charming runner. Set in a stone field that reads cream, they all turn their heads to the same side. There is no medallion. The first and fifth birds are darkest, one brown with a dark brown head, one dark brown throughout. Each has a pale eye, a cream outline and pale hourglass shapes in the wings. Of the other four, one is pale tan, one cream and two tan, all with small dark brown eyes and stepped chevrons. The chevrons and center hourglass are brown on the pale tan and cream birds, cream on the tan pair. A beautiful stepped border of dark brown blocks runs down each long side. The runner is flat-woven and has been professionally washed and cleaned. It slips into a quiet hall, its cream ground and brown birds keeping the colors calm. At 2'11" by 11'5", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Flat-woven wool, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
