This antique Caucasian tribal runner displays two large stacked diamond medallions in bright terracotta-orange with intricate geometric centers and sharp hooked edges on a rich navy background. The medallions connect through smaller tribal symbols, forming a clean vertical pattern that suits narrow spaces. Wide borders contain repeating diamond chains, zigzag lines, and stylized floral guards in orange, blue, and ivory, creating a balanced and strong tribal appearance.
Caucasian tribal runners like this one were handwoven in the late 19th to early 20th century by village artisans using natural dyes and dense wool knots. The stacked diamond layout is a signature of Shirvan and Kazak weavings, where bold geometric forms provide both decoration and symbolic protection in long, practical pieces. The thick pile and firm construction give these rugs their reputation for lasting many decades.
This runner fits well in hallways, long entryways, or beside furniture in narrow rooms, adding bold pattern and warmth to the space. The deep navy with warm orange accents complements wood floors and traditional or rustic interiors. Its sturdy wool build handles regular traffic while the antique colors soften nicely over time.
