Quiet pattern, lasting presence

A slender field of terracotta framed in inky charcoal, laced with scrolling vines and lotus rosettes in jade and powder blue. Small in stature, certain in character.

From threshold to treasure

Antique grace in a narrow footprint

A rare sampler size

Even original pile and secured sides mean it arrives ready for life underfoot. Its uncommon proportions slip where standard runners can’t.

Color that softens the day

Hallways and work nooks see the most passing moments. A vintage hand-knotted runner anchors those pauses with a quiet pattern that rewards a second look. Professionally cleaned and in original condition, it adds warmth you can step into the minute it unrolls.

For the collector who lives with pieces

Someone seeking a 1920s Chinese Nichols Art Deco rug in a narrow 1'4" x 3'7" footprint to add refined warmth to an entry, kitchen edge, or bedside path.

Where it belongs

Lay it along a slim threshold or beside the bed to catch the first and last steps of the day.
