This vintage Turkish runner rug showcases a serene and understated tribal composition rooted in Central Anatolian weaving traditions. The design features vertically stacked geometric panels filled with stylized tree and arrow motifs, symbols commonly associated with growth, protection, and continuity in village weaving culture.
The soft gray ground is gently accented with sage green, pale blue, and ivory tones, creating a calm, weathered appearance that reflects natural dye aging over time. The repeating geometric borders frame the composition with balance and rhythm, enhancing the rug’s elongated gallery-style proportions.
Hand-knotted entirely from wool, this rug offers both durability and a soft, tactile surface. The wool-on-wool construction provides structural integrity while allowing the subtle color variations and abrash to remain visible, adding depth and authenticity to the piece.
With its long runner format and quiet, neutral palette, this rug is ideal for hallways, entry corridors, kitchens, or layered interiors where texture and heritage matter more than bold contrast. Its refined tribal character makes it a versatile piece that blends effortlessly into both traditional and contemporary spaces.
