A deep indigo field carrying staggered rows of small flowering plants — each a bulb or vase base, a forked heart-shaped blossom above it, and a pair of curling hooks at the shoulders — repeated the full length of the runner. The plants rotate through wine red, ivory, apricot and pale blue so that no two neighbours share a colour. A cream main border of the same plant drawn smaller frames the field, and beyond it a broad barber-pole band runs diagonally in red, cream, indigo and tan, closed by fine dogtooth guard stripes. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool with the double-knot technique. Every element is drawn rectilinearly — the hooks, the blossoms, even the diagonal of the barber-pole band, which on a knot grid means stepping one knot at a time. At 79×391cm this is a long, narrow runner, close to four metres, so measure the corridor carefully before committing. The indigo ground is practical for a working hallway and hides everyday marks far better than a pale rug would, though it will show lint and pale fibres.
