This Turkish Karabagh runner features a bold repeating pattern of large diamond medallions connected by angular vines and small hooked leaves. Each medallion contains intricate geometric rosettes and tribal symbols in navy and ivory against the deep red ground, while wide borders use continuous floral scrolls and repeating motifs in coral and green tones. The strong contrasts and dense filling create rhythmic energy along the length with natural abrash adding subtle depth.
Karabagh rugs from the Caucasus region blend Persian influences with nomadic tribal styles, known for vivid colors and geometric boldness. Turkish-made versions adapt these characteristics with thick wool and durable construction suited to runners. This piece shows the classic style with tight knotting and medium pile that holds up well over time.
A 4×10 runner fits medium hallways, entryways, or beside dining tables, adding vibrant pattern and warmth to narrow spaces. The brick red field brings energy and richness, contrasting nicely with wood floors or neutral walls. Wool provides natural cushioning, strong wear resistance, and easy maintenance through regular vacuuming.
