A beautifully proportioned vintage hand-knotted wool runner from India featuring a striking deep indigo field framed by intricate salmon pink, ivory and pale blue borders. The design centres on a delicate geometric floral medallion suspended within an open field, creating a refined and elegant composition that feels both decorative and restrained.

The rich midnight-blue ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the finely drawn motifs, while the soft coral, ivory and sky-blue highlights create a sophisticated palette that works exceptionally well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The narrow runner format makes it ideal for hallways, beside a bed, in front of a fireplace, or layered within a larger room setting.

Hand-knotted from wool, the rug displays the crisp drawing and balanced proportions associated with high-quality workshop weaving. There is attractive age-related wear throughout, consistent with a genuinely antique textile, giving the rug warmth, character and the softened appearance increasingly sought after by interior designers. The combination of the dark field and elegant border pattern aligns perfectly with current old money, grand millennial, English country house and maximalist decorating trends.

Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear and patina commensurate with age. Hand-knotted wool construction with fringed ends.

Measures 2'11" x 5'11" (89 x 181 cm). Hand-knotted wool. Likely mid- late 20th century
