{"product_id":"carnival-pink-teal-vintage-moroccan-runner-4x10","title":"Carnival (3'6\" x 9'10\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Runner","description":"\u003cp\u003eMagenta and teal, set directly against each other — the single most confident colour pairing in this collection. A hot crimson-pink ground runs the length of the rug; a band of bright turquoise frames it on all four sides. Neither colour backs down, and the tension between them is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDown the centre sit three large medallions, each a dense cluster of stepped diamonds and hooked arms in black, navy and grey. Study them and small details emerge: red-white-and-blue eye-diamonds studded throughout, each ringed in saffron, and an ivory cartouche at the heart of every medallion holding a fine knotted motif in red and teal. The border carries a black-and-white scrolling vine that keeps the whole busy field in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 3'6\" wide this is broader than a standard runner, and nearly ten feet long — proportions that are genuinely hard to find. A narrow runner would look mean carrying colour this bold; this one has the width to hold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy rugs like this because we would rather sell one honest, irregular, human-made piece than a hundred flawless machine copies. It was hand-knotted in Morocco decades ago, it has already lived a life, and there is not another one anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-2470\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'6\" x 9'10\" (1.07m x 3.00m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-knotted on a traditional loom in Morocco — no machine work at any stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Moroccan runner, Middle Atlas — three bold medallions on a magenta ground with a teal border\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magenta crimson and turquoise teal, with black, navy, grey, ivory, saffron and small red-and-blue accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-high, plush\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original fringe at the ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
