2'9 x 10'11 Hand-Knotted Afghan Turkmen Carpet Runner

Item Details

This authentic hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen runner features a rare ivory-colored field, a departure from the more common deep red palettes of the region. The central design consists of a rhythmic column of Tekke Gul medallions, traditionally known as ‘elephant foot’ patterns, rendered in warm terracotta and earthy brown tones. The rug is framed by multiple geometric border bands, including a sophisticated Greek Key-inspired outer guard. Crafted using traditional nomadic techniques with hand-spun wool and natural dyes, the runner exhibits a lustrous finish and exceptional durability. Its elongated format and light, neutral colorway make it a sought-after piece for brightening long hallways or entryways while maintaining a grounded, tribal character.
