See all images. Hard to find size 1'7" x 8'8" ft genuine, hand knotted, antique worn real Heriz runner rug (mid to late 1800s  estimate base of Mt Sabalan). Natural vegetable & mineral dyes. Professionally cleaned. No  tears, holes, animal nor smoke issue. There is antique wear over the century, but clean and durable for another with daily utility. Natural, beautiful color variations light and dark from organic dye oxidation over the century as seen in images (called 'abrash' by curators and collectors). Old world dye techniques still unmatched. Field tone in the antiqued reds spectrum multiple tones with dark blue mid blue and earth tone accents. An authentic period piece with historic validity, old world quality for another century, and colorful. From the foothills of Mt Sabalan using local famous mineral rich volcanic waters for unusually ripe natural dyes that last centuries (minerals in the water reacting to organic dyes). Not many left in the world that are authentic and this size.
