Bold Tribal Symmetry — Antique Kurdish Runner with Tree Motif (4.4 × 12 ft)
Striking in both form and symbolism, this antique Kurdish runner (4.4 × 12 ft) commands attention with a dramatic tree-of-life design. Angular branches extend rhythmically down the field, creating a symmetrical ladder-like structure framed by dynamic, geometric borders in teal, ivory, and brown.
Each side border features bold tribal glyphs, adding a layer of cultural richness and graphic intensity. The use of natural dyes yields an earthy palette — warm sand, walnut brown, muted teal, and faded rust — all softened by age and wear to create a gently weathered patina.
This piece exudes character and authenticity, making it a superb addition to rustic interiors or as a centerpiece in a long corridor or entryway.
