Hallway Runner Rugs (3ft x 10.09ft), Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century runner is defined by its deep, resonant field color, a rich camel hue that places it squarely within the category of brown earth tone color rugs. The hand-knotted wool pile exhibits a subtle abrash, lending textural depth and authenticity to this venerable piece.

Designed specifically for transitional spaces, this piece exemplifies the utility and beauty inherent in hallway runner rugs. The narrow format draws the eye along its length, while the expansive, unadorned central panel provides a grounding element that allows the intricate, contrasting border to command attention.

The border features a lively, repeating pattern of stylized blossoms set against a vibrant terracotta ground. These charming, geometricized blooms are characteristic of tribal weaving traditions, making this a distinguished example among floral rugs. The use of saturated indigo and light blue accents provides a striking counterpoint to the warm, earthy field.

With its robust construction and balanced palette of earth tones accented by striking crimson, this textile offers a rare glimpse into late 19th-century craftsmanship. It remains a superb acquisition for collectors seeking authentic, well-preserved antique rugs that blend rustic charm with sophisticated color application. See less
