Turkish / 11837

This Turkish wool runner, 61 x 429 cm, carries an architectural sequence of geometric medallions and stepped cartouches within a rosette-bordered frame. Red and pink tones sit against cream and white grounds, mellowed by time into a soft, harmonious colour range. Low wear retains clear motif definition and a supple pile, confirming its presence as an antique rug with restrained character. Circa 1900 - 1920. The design reads as both folkloric and refined, an early 20th-century example where woollen fibre and disciplined geometry meet in careful balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
