This distinctive vintage Shiraz runner hails from southern Iran, a region celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and masterful weaving traditions. The focal point of this remarkable textile is a large cream medallion, which elegantly contrasts with the royal blue field, creating a bold yet harmonious visual statement.

The medallion is exquisitely adorned with charming motifs of shrubs, graceful ducks, and delicate flower heads, all meticulously woven to reflect the natural beauty of the Iranian landscape. These elements bring a sense of storytelling and organic movement to the piece, connecting it to its nomadic roots.

Framing the central field is a soft cream border, decorated with small, stylized floral motifs that enhance the runner’s sense of structure and sophistication. The palette of vibrant natural dyes used in this rug has aged gracefully, adding depth and subtle variation to the colors, a hallmark of authentic Persian craftsmanship.

Woven from high-quality, handspun wool, this runner offers a soft texture and exceptional durability, making it a practical yet beautiful addition to hallways, entryways, or narrow living spaces. Whether used as a decorative accent or a functional textile, it brings timeless style and cultural richness to any setting.
