This antique Kurdish runner dates from around 1900 and exhibits a traditional tribal village style hand-knotted in wool. The piece displays a vertical sequence of eight large octagonal Memling gul motifs finished in soft pastel shades of terracotta brown, deep blue, cream, and ochre, bordered by geometric patterns and fringed ends. The weave shows typical rustic irregularities, resulting in a slightly misshapen form alongside even wear and a mostly good to medium pile across the surface. Measuring 240 cm high by 110 cm wide with a 1 cm depth, the carpet functions practically as a floor runner for a hallway, corridor, or living space in a home today. Cleaned and ready for interior display, the textile suits rustic farmhouse environments seeking authentic tribal floor coverings.

FAQs

A Kurdish Memling Gul runner is a hand-woven long carpet crafted by Kurdish tribal weavers, featuring characteristic stepped or hooked octagonal medallions known as Memling guls along its central field.

Antique tribal runners are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces display geometric asymmetry, natural variations in dye shades known as abrash, wool wear patterns, and flexible hand-knotted wool backings.

Place the runner in a hallway, entryway, or long corridor to add warmth, geometric contrast, and historic texture against timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum regularly without a rotary brush, rotate annually to balance foot traffic wear, use a high-quality rug pad underneath, and arrange professional hand-cleaning when required.
