Woven in the mid-20th century, the piece features a harmonious interplay of geometric medallions and intricate borders in a subdued, earthy palette. Its elongated format and balanced composition make it an elegant yet practical addition to hallways and transitional spaces.

On the Design:

The design of this runner reflects the distinctive language of Kurdish weaving traditions, where geometry and symbolism merge into a refined visual narrative. The field is organized around a lattice of repeating diamond medallions, each enclosing smaller geometric motifs that echo tribal symbolism and structure.

These medallions create a rhythmic progression along the length of the rug, guiding the eye through the composition while maintaining a sense of cohesion and order. The restrained color palette, featuring soft beige, muted browns, faded reds, and gentle charcoal accents, reveals a beautiful patina that speaks to the rug’s age and authenticity.

Framing the field is a series of narrow, highly detailed borders composed of angular floral and geometric motifs. These borders act as both a visual anchor and a decorative counterpoint to the open field, enhancing the overall balance of the design.

The result is a piece that sits comfortably between medallion and geometric traditions, where structured repetition, tribal artistry, and subtle color variation come together in a timeless, versatile composition.
