Hand-spun wool has been worked over a cotton foundation in disciplined stripes of red, black, camel, and cream, punctuated by slim pale-mint panels and small embroidered tribal symbols. The result is a striking yet timeless runner that reads as both a cultural artifact and a strong design statement in contemporary interiors.

Despite its bold graphic rhythm, the palette remains surprisingly versatile: darker bands anchor the piece while the lighter and cooler tones keep it open and airy. At nearly nineteen feet long, it is ideal for a dramatic gallery-like hallway, a long galley kitchen, or as a continuous stair runner, bringing authentic vintage character, gentle patina, and the subtle irregularities that signal a genuine handwoven village textile.

✨ Color Palette & Design Insight
The runner balances warm village reds and grounding dark stripes with softer neutrals and cool notes, so it feels bold but not overwhelming in a room. It pairs beautifully with white cabinetry, stone or wood floors, and suits boho, farmhouse, eclectic, and clean modern spaces that need one authentic textile to tie everything together.
• Deep madder red and rich crimson borders and bands
• Charcoal and near-black stripes adding strong linear contrast
• Soft cream and warm camel tones lightening the composition
• Pale mint/seafoam and light gray panels cooling the palette
• Fine accent lines of bright red and muted stone hues sharpening the stripe rhythm

✨ Motifs & Symbolism
Along the length of the rug, small “X”-like tribal emblems combine hooked diamonds and ram’s horn forms, classic Anatolian symbols of strength, protection, and resilience. Set inside narrow colored panels, they break up the stripes and guide the eye down the full length of the runner, echoing the idea of journey and passage. The disciplined repetition of these protective motifs within the linear layout gives the piece a calm but purposeful energy, making it especially well suited to transitional spaces where movement is constant.
