Design & Composition

The composition features a mesmerizing procession of interconnected floral medallions that flow gracefully along the runner’s length. Large, lobed medallions in soft teal and sage green are filled with intricate floral sprays and are connected by sweeping navy blue arabesques that create elegant movement across the warm terracotta field. Between the medallions, elaborate palmettes, lotus blossoms, and curving sickle leaves create a lush garden of botanical artistry.

The navy blue main border provides sophisticated contrast, showcasing a continuous vine of scrolling palmettes and blossoms in cream, pink, and blue. Delicate guard borders in complementary tones frame the composition with precision.

Color Palette

The palette is remarkably vibrant and sophisticated: a warm terracotta orange field—unusual and highly sought-after in Persian rugs—provides a stunning canvas for the cool teal and sage green medallions. Deep navy blue arabesques and border create dramatic contrast, while accents of cream, soft pink, golden yellow, and sky blue add depth and complexity. The vegetable-dyed colors have developed a beautiful patina over 40-50 years while retaining exceptional vibrancy.
