The Corridor of Consequence: Bordered Medieval Runner
One must walk somewhere. Why not walk along a strip of highly formalized, decorative inevitability? This is not merely a floor runner; it is a meticulously contained pathway through the everyday absurdity of your home. It provides direction where perhaps none exists, and style where only dust bunnies dared to gather.
The central field is a vast, contemplative expanse of deep, moody indigo-blue, a colour that suggests the bottom of the sea or a particularly profound moment of nihilism. This tranquility is abruptly, deliciously interrupted by two complex border patterns—a furious, repetitive geometry rendered in ochre yellow, burnt orange, and deep crimson. These friezes are inspired by the ornamental bands found in Romanesque and Byzantine mosaics and frescos, which often delineated sacred space or chronicled events in highly stylized, abstract forms.
Fact of the Absurd: In medieval art, the act of bordering was a vital philosophical exercise: it separated the ordinary from the extraordinary, the profane from the sacred. This runner’s twin borders don't separate rooms; they separate your footsteps from the void. Every step taken upon the central indigo field is a momentary, framed escape from the pattern, before being immediately flanked by the pattern once more. It’s a perfect visual metaphor for freedom and constraint.
This durable floor rug demands attention with its contrasting textures—the smooth, deep center and the busy, multi-coloured edges. It’s perfect for hallways, kitchens, or any elongated space that requires a dramatic, silent commentary on the nature of linear time. It prevents slipping while simultaneously suggesting that nothing matters. A pragmatic paradox.
Buy it and grant your feet a visually complex pilgrimage, every single day.

Absolutely gorgeous! It’s even prettier in person. Great quality. Vibrant color blue. I bought it as a birthday gift to match a boat. Printing came out great! Exactly what I picked out:

Creator Review
I was pleasantly surprised with the clarity and level of detail as well as the sharpness of color. I was not sure what to expect with the texture of the rug and found it soft, easy to clean, and not losing any fuzz (which my woolen rugs all do). There were a few wrinkles in the fabric once I unrolled it and I was worried that they might not go away. The good news is that once it was flat on the ground and I vacuumed over it he wrinkles had vanished. The printing is really good. The details are sharp and clear and the colors are vibrant. I have always wanted a William Morris rug to go with my Mission style living room and this one is just beautiful! I can also say that having seen the quality first hand, I am pleased to offer the other rugs I have made in my Beatrix Potter Nursery and Kids Room Decor Collection, and feel confident in their quality.
