This vintage Central Anatolian runner features a bold tribal composition defined by stacked geometric medallions set on a warm rust-colored field. The medallions are sharply articulated with angular outlines and symbolic motifs, reflecting the strong graphic language typical of Anatolian tribal weaving.
Secondary motifs—small crosses, hooked elements, and directional symbols—are evenly spaced throughout the field, adding rhythm and cultural meaning without crowding the design. These elements are characteristic of nomadic and village rugs woven for everyday use with deep symbolic intent.
The rug is framed by a wide border rendered in olive green and muted gold, decorated with repeating tribal emblems that create contrast and visual balance. The border anchors the composition and enhances the runner’s elongated proportions.
Hand-knotted using wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug offers durability alongside a soft, naturally aged texture. Its long gallery size makes it an excellent choice for hallways, entry corridors, or wide transitional spaces where a distinctive tribal statement is desired.
