This vintage Anatolian runner displays a classic repeating diamond medallion pattern along its length, with each medallion featuring geometric floral elements and hooked details on a deep red field. Multiple narrow borders with small repeating motifs and a wide outer guard border in green frame the design, giving it the balanced, elongated look typical of Turkish village runners from the mid-20th century.
Anatolian rugs have been woven across Turkey’s vast Anatolian plateau for hundreds of years by village and nomadic weavers using simple tools and local wool. Vintage pieces like this one often feature bold geometric designs and strong natural-dyed colors that have softened over time, creating an authentic, lived-in appeal with subtle variations in shade.
The hand-knotted wool construction makes this runner sturdy and suitable for hallways, entryways, or kitchens with regular foot traffic. Its narrow width and strong red tones add warmth and visual interest to long narrow spaces, working well with rustic, farmhouse, or traditional decor styles. As a vintage rug, it may show light wear consistent with age; gentle vacuuming and avoiding heavy furniture legs will help preserve its condition and character for continued use.
