This genuine 17th-century period piece, from the Mughal era, features a rich lac burgundy red field centered by a stepped medallion in muted teal blue. Scrolling vines connect palmettes, curved leaves, and rounded flowers in a balanced composition that extends toward both ends of the rug.
Sage green, dusty blue, neutral turquoise, warm straw, and ochre bring variety to the floral pattern, while ivory and deep navy accents sharpen its details. An ochre-gold border frames the field with a delicate winding vine and small navy blossoms. The runner’s elongated proportions give the design a graceful rhythm, allowing its intricate forms and layered colors to unfold along its length.
