We have a very old Bidjar that has that olive green in the borders and a dark field. Pictures aren't always easy to interpret. Especially at the angle that photo was taken. Hard to tell JF.

Or a repro. Kellei -- thank you it was the word I couldn't remember. Those are the long wide rugs they use in the middle east where the corridors are much wider than ours.

For you and others that need a wide yet long rug, look for ones referred to as "kellei" (also sp. Keleyghi). Those rugs are wide and long like the one pictured. Anne, that horizontal striped rug really was a beauty wasn't it? The difference in that hallway and this one is the vertical stripes lead you to something--more books!! Glad to hear you all enjoyed the info. Allison, I’m not sure about the age of the 2nd photo but I’m guessing it’s old.

Beautiful as the first one is, I still have the horizontal stripes of the other long hallway that you demonstrated last week firmly planted in my mind. I love the way that one keeps you in the hallway rather than focusing on the end. Thanks for the inspiration! Love, love, love these images and examples, Jane!

Love them. especially first and second. How I wish our hallway was wide enough for bookcases, but also no. I have been thinking of eventually putting a built in, floor to ceiling book case at the END of the corridor though, to shorten it and just because it would be nice. This pushes me even more in that direction. LOVE those rugs! Especially the blue to the blue walls. Beautiful I've yet to find a rug for our hallway either, again because of it's 1960's narrowness...... Oh how beautiful! Love them. especially first and second.
