Explore Our Turkish Runner Rug Collection
At Surena Rugs, our Turkish runner rug collection features fully handmade pieces sourced from central and eastern Turkey. Many are vintage or semi-antique, woven with fine wool and natural dyes that age gracefully over time.
Each rug is carefully selected for its artistry, condition, and ability to elevate refined interiors.
Authentic Turkish Craftsmanship
Turkish runner rugs are woven by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations. Traditionally made for village corridors and long interior spaces, these rugs are built to last while telling a visual story.
Our collection includes influences from:
- Anatolian tribal weaving traditions
- Oushak-inspired color palettes
- Geometric Kilim designs
- Subtle, timeworn vintage patterns
No two Turkish runner rugs are exactly alike. Natural variations in color and weave are part of their character and charm.
Vintage & Handmade Turkish Runner Rugs
Many of our Turkish runner rugs are vintage or semi-antique pieces. They have been professionally cleaned and gently restored to preserve their original integrity.
Handwoven wool, combined with plant-based dyes, creates depth and softness that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. Over time, these runners develop a rich patina that enhances their appeal rather than diminishes it.
These are rugs meant to be lived with and appreciated daily.
Where Turkish Runner Rugs Work Best
Thanks to their proportions and durability, Turkish runner rugs are ideal for:
- Hallways and corridors
- Entryways and foyers
- Kitchens and galley spaces
- Stair landings and narrow passages
Their elongated form adds visual flow, while intricate designs bring interest without overwhelming the space.
