This long vintage Turkish runner rug features an elongated design with a series of connected geometric medallions and diamond shapes in soft tones along the central field. The wide borders display repeating lattice and floral patterns, creating a balanced flow with a gently aged, washed appearance. Hand-knotted in wool, it shows the natural patina and even wear typical of mid-20th-century pieces.
Vintage Turkish runners like this one were often produced in Anatolian villages for use in long hallways and corridors. They combine traditional geometric motifs with softer, more open designs that became popular in the mid-20th century. This example uses a light, neutral palette that gives it a modern transitional feel while preserving the authentic character of older Turkish weaving.
The wool pile offers good durability and a comfortable texture for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, or stair runners. Its narrow, extended shape enhances the sense of length in narrow spaces, and the muted colors blend easily with various decor styles. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning every few years will help maintain its soft tones and overall condition.
