Turkish / 11837

This Turkish wool runner, 2' 0" x 14' 1", reads as architectural and tactile. A procession of geometric medallions and stepped cartouches unfolds along a narrow, linear field, framed by a repeated rosette border. The red and pink notes sit against cream and white grounds that have softened with age into a warm, muted register. Low distress preserves clear motif edges and a gentle pile, giving it the quiet authority of an antique rug without heavy restoration. Circa 1900 - 1920. The balance of folk geometry and restrained composition feels deliberate, considered, and quietly modern in its restraint.
