A Vintage Avanos Runner with Geometric Depth and Tribal Charm
This vintage runner rug from the Avanos region of Turkey is hand-knotted using wool on a cotton foundation and naturally dyed with vegetable pigments. Crafted approximately 100 years ago, it combines durability with a soft, inviting texture underfoot, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship and artistry of traditional Turkish weaving.
Design & Color Story
Set on a warm ivory field, the rug features a series of large geometric medallions interspersed with subtle tribal motifs in soft pink and light blue. The composition feels rhythmic and balanced, offering visual interest without overwhelming the space.
