Kamyaran, in Kurdistan, is known for robust weaves and lively color palettes—and this substantial runner exemplifies both. The thick 11 mm wool pile feels almost luxurious, like sinking your toes into a dense garden of mulberry red, midnight blue, and saffron gold. Large, stepped diamonds march down the center, each filled with tiny rosettes and tribal emblems, while intricate guard borders frame the composition with energetic latch‑hook devices.
Because of its generous dimensions, this piece can anchor a wide hallway or stretch elegantly in a large foyer. If you have an open‑concept loft, it can also help define a transition area between living and dining spaces. The vegetable dyes impart a subtle luminosity to the colors, ensuring they’ll catch the light and continue to “bloom” over time.
