61314 Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug Runner, 03'07 x 10'04.
Laid-back luxury meets welcome informality in this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug runner. The distressed composition captures the essence of timeless elegance with its mesmerizing allover pattern of Herati motifs dancing across the antique-washed blue background.
