Through the use of two primary colors, this beautiful runner rug allows the shapes at the foreground to define the masterpiece itself. Like many beautiful vintage runner rugs, this one is designed to lead the viewer’s eyes down along its length. From the top of this vintage rug, the viewer follows the pattern of lines as they descend in a series of horizontal bars. Though seemingly disconnected, the careful stitching results in a continuous series of movements, which allows the viewer to play with their perception of the foreground and background space, particularly at the horizontal sections of the vintage runner rug that feature vertical lines.
