Characterized by a fine weave, this piece is adorned with detailed borders at both ends, framing a plain ivory field. Its aesthetic appeal is not only timeless but also versatile, seamlessly complementing both traditional and modern furniture settings. Whether placed in a narrow corridor or utilized as a table runner, its beauty transcends various decor styles. Additionally, signs of old yet skilful restoration add to its allure, attesting to its lasting quality.
