Traditional Rug Floral Paisley Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner sepia “Sepia Paisley” N11183 3'2" × 10'8" $9,000

This modern wool runner draws its inspiration from the classical artistry of Persian Tabriz rugs, reinterpreting the tradition with a contemporary sensibility. Handwoven in India, the runner showcases a refined adaptation of the iconic boteh motif—an almond-shaped design believed to symbolize life and eternity. Arranged in rhythmic, alternating rows, these motifs fill the chocolate-toned field, creating a sense of movement and harmony.

The border complements the central field with a delicate array of floral and vine elements on a muted beige ground, further anchoring the runner in its Tabriz heritage. The palette—comprised of earthy browns, taupe, and soft sand hues—brings warmth and subtle elegance, making it ideal for both transitional and modern interiors.

Crafted from high-quality wool using traditional flat-weaving techniques, this runner offers durability and texture without sacrificing style. Its narrow dimensions make it particularly well-suited for hallways, stair landings, or layered alongside larger rugs.

A thoughtful fusion of antique Persian design and modern execution, this custom runner from Doris Leslie Blau is a timeless accent that brings heritage craftsmanship into contemporary living.
