{"product_id":"saffron-lattice-red-vintage-moroccan-runner-3x9","title":"Saffron Lattice (3'6\" x 8'10\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Runner","description":"\u003cp\u003eNearly nine feet of red, divided into a lattice of small compartments, each one holding a single diamond — ivory, then saffron, then ivory again, all the way down. Around them the weaver has packed small florets and stars until barely any ground is left showing. It is dense, disciplined work, and it held its rhythm across the entire length of the loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remarkable thing is what the red does. It begins at one end in a dusty rose, deepens into strong crimson, holds through the middle, then eases into rust and finally a warm sand at the far end. This is \u003cem\u003eabrash\u003c\/em\u003e — the record of a weaver dyeing wool in small batches over the months it took to finish, each new lot slightly different from the last. On a rug this long the effect is unmistakable. It is not fading, and it is not a flaw: it is the reason a hand-dyed rug looks alive where a machine-made one looks printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 3'6\" wide it is broader than a standard runner, which makes it more forgiving in a generous hallway and useful in places a narrow runner would look mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-2451\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'6\" x 8'10\" (1.07m x 2.69m)\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, Zemmour family — compartmented lattice with alternating diamond medallions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faded red shifting from rose to crimson to rust, saffron gold, ivory, charcoal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
