This vintage hand-knotted Turkish runner showcases a striking Central Anatolian design defined by a powerful stepped medallion and symbolic tribal motifs. The deep charcoal field is dramatically contrasted by a rust-red lower panel, creating visual weight and balance that feels both grounded and architectural.
Geometric symbols and stylized motifs are woven throughout the composition, reflecting traditional Anatolian symbolism often associated with protection and continuity. The border work is detailed yet restrained, framing the runner without overwhelming the central design.
Crafted entirely from wool and dyed with natural pigments, this piece offers durability along with a beautifully aged patina. Dating to circa 1960 and preserved in great condition, it is an excellent choice for hallways, entryways, or transitional spaces where authentic character and bold design are desired.
