Vintage 1970s Hand-Knotted Geometric Wool Rug Runner Oriental Medallion 3 x 12'

Description

Vintage hallway runner rug, dating to circa 1970, beautifully showcases the bold symmetry and classic artistry of traditional weaving. Masterfully hand-knotted with a robust, high-quality wool pile over a heavy-duty cotton foundation, this runner is designed to handle generations of high-traffic use. The layout features an elegant triple-medallion format anchored by three large, highly detailed geometric centerpieces. Each medallion blossoms with a contrasting core of old ivory, cream, soft sage green, and midnight navy, framed beautifully by sharp geometric teeth and radiating floral vine scrolls. The main field is a deep, warm madder red, entirely covered by an intricate allover lattice pattern of stylized blossoms and continuous branching tendrils. Framing this grand center is an ornate multi-band border system featuring classic repeating rosette motifs on a dark navy blue background, giving the piece a rich and well-balanced border presence. Complete with authentic hand-knotted fringe ends and tightly wrapped side selvages, this exceptional runner brings a magnificent pop of history, architectural definition, and timeless sophistication to any long hallway or entryway.
