A Bold Cappadocian Runner with Tribal Motifs and Floral Detail
This exceptional vintage runner rug was handwoven approximately 80 years ago in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, an area celebrated for its expressive tribal designs and rich weaving heritage. Crafted using wool-on-wool construction and natural vegetable dyes, this runner offers durability, warmth, and a beautifully textured surface underfoot.
Design & Color Story
The rug features an allover geometric composition anchored by large tribal motifs, framed by an elegant floral border that softens the bold geometry. The palette combines vibrant red with ivory and muted gray tones, creating contrast and depth while remaining versatile enough for both classic and contemporary interiors.
Its elongated format makes it ideal for entryways, kitchens, hallways, or alongside a bed, where its strong design can guide the eye and define the space without overwhelming it.
