A Vintage Cappadocian Runner with Bold Color and Tribal Character
Hand-knotted approximately 80 years ago in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, this vintage runner rug is a striking example of Anatolian weaving traditions. Known for their expressive patterns and rich symbolism, rugs from this region often feature bold motifs and distinctive color combinations.
Its elongated format makes it perfect for hallways, entryways, kitchens, or as a decorative accent in layered interiors.
Design & Composition
The rug showcases a large-scale geometric design enhanced by prominent tribal motifs. The composition feels dynamic yet balanced, with strong shapes that create rhythm and visual interest לאורך the length of the runner.
These bold forms give the rug a graphic, almost modern quality while remaining rooted in traditional craftsmanship.
