Name: KISSING LIONS / LEOPARDS 😘 Rare & Decorative Antique Runner with Duel Feline Subjects in Center | 2.11 x 10.6

Size: 2.11 x 10.6

Age: Antique, C. 1930's

Pile: Strong Medium pile with some distrss and age-related wear - good! We want some age and story to our rugs - and speaking of story - THIS PIECE AS IT ALL.

About: NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS... Duel Lions / Leopards as the Centerpiece of this runner - so uncommon to see this; we know Lions are a big part of Persian culture, as are all beautiful large Cats - but to see them in the center cartouche / panel with other charming animals and birds wove inside symbolizing good luck, prosperity and beyond - this is just awesome. Maybe it was a wedding gift symbolism the two lovers at the center, maybe it was the weaver inspired by her 2 children - whatever it is, it's INCREDIBLE. Not to mention all the lovely abrash, the Herati Fish, and the Unique Teal, Pastel Green, Rich Saffron, Cantaloup Orange, and Grayish-Charcoal to smokey Indigo dyes - SENSATIONAL palette. This is what it's all about, curating the most unique and beautifully story-filled rugs ever and letting them find you to enjoy for generations to come. Great size too!

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world, no others are available.

Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects.

Any questions about this rug? Don't hesitate to reach out!

We always recommend a high-quality custom cut pad for any and all rugs; these pads are made for hand-knotted rugs. They create a body and support the knots of the rug, as well as prevent it from slipping and sliding.

A note from us to you: Buying a rug is special; it's not just you finding the rug, but also the rug finding you. Think about the many coincidences that have to occur for you to find the rug of your dreams. Our rugs are woven by nomads in the villages and remote mountainous regions of the major rug weaving districts across the world. All of our rugs are genuinely old and one-of-a-kind. Like anything old and unique, they are filled with character, soul, and story. The story of a rug is something we think about a lot; who was the weaver(s)? Did they weave it for personal use, commerce, to gift, or trade? Who was the second owner, and the third!? Sometimes the little motifs and symbols in rugs can help tell the story, but we will never truly know - there's something beautiful about that. Alas, our joy is to curate these incredible pieces that speak to us, and to pass them along to their new owners to be enjoyed and cherished for many years to come; both continuing to add to the story of the rug, and to the story of the new owners.
