$2,600.00
Details
An exuberant folk-art runner bursting with botanical geometry, this vintage piece features a kaleidoscopic chain of 8-petaled rosettes rendered in saturated madder red, midnight blue, and emerald green. Boldly stylized "flaming star" motifs form a rhythmic procession across the field, each one surrounded by abstract foliage and angular latticework. The effect is simultaneously high-energy and rooted—vivid yet deeply grounding in its palette and symbolism.
