On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Turkish runner's design which explores pictorial sensibilities in a bold fashion. The polychromatic colorway strikes a gorgeous balance between cool & warm tones. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of mid-century Anatolian style. With teal, brick red, and gold tones underscore a floral pattern keeping with this piece's mid-century modern meets traditional tribal sensibility. The playful sense of color in a highly decorative pattern, both in movement and whimsy alike, lead us to believe this is among the few similar works of this origin seen today.

It’s a vibrant and playful piece with the whimsy of a pictorial rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that Turkish village works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the transitional appeal of the time and highly collectible in our vintage curations today.
