{"product_id":"rosehip-solid-red-vintage-moroccan-runner-3x10","title":"Rosehip (3'2\" x 9'10\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Runner","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo pattern, no border — just red, nearly ten feet of it, running the length of a corridor. And like every good plain rug, it turns out not to be plain at all. Look down its length and the colour moves: a brighter cherry in some bands, a deeper rose-crimson in others, drifting from one to the next the way hand-dyed wool always does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cem\u003eabrash\u003c\/em\u003e — the mark of a weaver dyeing wool in small batches over the weeks a rug takes to finish, each lot coming out a shade different from the last. On a patterned rug it sits in the background. On a plain field it is the entire composition, and on a piece this long the shift is impossible to miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is the other half of it: deep, dense and soft, the kind of shag you feel before you think about it. A plain runner in a strong colour is one of the most useful things you can put in a hall — it brings warmth and texture to a narrow space without adding pattern to a part of the house that usually connects several rooms.\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-2471\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'2\" x 9'10\" (0.97m 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 — plain saturated field, undecorated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry red shifting between brighter cherry and deeper rose-crimson\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, dense shag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original red fringe at one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.

It sits with cream and bone, oak and walnut, terracotta and brass, and against white or plaster it is genuinely warming. In a cool grey hallway it is exactly the note that space is usually missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions about this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a single vintage rug, so what you see is what exists — it cannot be remade, resized or reordered.
