Symbolism in the Design:

The central motif — floral vases — holds deep cultural significance in Persian folk art. Symbolizing fertility, earth, and divine femininity, this ancient symbol connects the home to nature and spiritual renewal.

Each runner is hand-stitched using fine yarns, making every piece one-of-a-kind. No two are alike — just like the creativity of the women who make them.

About Khorasan Embroidery:

This style of embroidery — often called “Bokharadouzi” or simply Khorasan embroidery — is widely practiced across northeastern Iran. It features vibrant floral motifs sewn with consistent stitches, yet the angles, threads, and color combinations vary with each artist’s imagination.

This makes each runner not only beautiful, but a storytelling textile — rich with the culture and spirit of rural Iran.

Care Instructions:

• Hand wash gently with cold water and mild detergent.
• Iron on the reverse side with a cloth.
