11070 · 2'8" x 11'2" Turkish Anatolian Runner Rug

A column of hooked diamonds in deep indigo runs down the center of this lovely runner. From across a room the field reads dusty rose, though its ground is sand and cream clouded with pink. The diamonds sit point to point in place of a medallion, some outlined in indigo hooks, others solid pink or pale sand. One small pink diamond holds a tiny indigo grid, and indigo combs and triangles fill the gaps beside them. A handsome border of rectangular cartouches runs around the field, setting cream octagons in indigo frames beside pink panels and small star rosettes. A narrow pink guard stripe edges the field. The pile is low across the whole runner, and the foundation shows through in places. The pink reads paler in patches, most toward one end. It holds a long hall with gentle color, and the deep indigo gives the pink and sand a clear edge. At 2'8" by 11'2", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
