This antique Kurdish hallway runner rug is a bold and charismatic example of tribal craftsmanship from the rugged regions of the Kurdish highlands. Characterised by its powerful geometric language, the rug features a series of large octagonal medallions in fiery terracotta and deep indigo, arranged along a central axis and filled with charming latch-hook motifs and symbolic tribal forms.
Framing these medallions are intricate Greek key borders, jagged guard stripes, and small rosettes in a vibrant palette of ivory, saffron, midnight blue, and rust red. The outer border showcases a zigzag vine scroll against a soft ivory background, adding rhythm and definition to the composition.
Woven from coarse, hand-spun wool with natural dyes, this runner embodies the raw beauty and cultural essence of the Kurdish weaving tradition. Its elongated shape and rich colour story make it a perfect statement piece for entryways, corridors, or alongside a long dining table, bringing warmth, heritage, and powerful tribal character into the home.
Authentic vintage and antique Kurd rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
