Defined by a sophisticated all-over geometric pattern and a sequence of large-scale medallions, this rug captures a clear architectural balance in an exceptionally long format.

On the Design:

This extra-long runner is a study in geometric rhythm and symmetry. The central field features a vertical procession of expansive, angular diamond medallions rendered in a crisp ivory that provides a clean contrast to the surrounding details.

These primary motifs are set against a beautifully aged ground of muted blue and earthy beige-brown, creating a sense of movement that guides the eye down the rug’s significant length.

The design favors pure geometric abstraction, utilizing sharp zig-zags and interlocking triangles to create a sense of continuous motion. The color palette is balanced, featuring a harmonious blend of steel blue, earthy beige, and soft rust, with subtle accents of chartreuse and muted red that emphasize the sharp corners of the medallions. A structured border of interlocking rosettes and scrolling vines frames the field, providing a refined finish to this versatile and architecturally striking work.
