Geometric Herki Carpet, Vintage Wool Rug, Hand Knotted Tribal Runner, 3.6 x 9.5 For Sale

A vintage rug with a deep red field, warm orange accents, and bold geometric motifs, this hand-knotted Herki carpet measures 3.6 x 9.5 ft (110 x 291 cm). The vintage wool rug has a long rectangular shape suited to use as a tribal runner, with two large diamond-centered designs, angular outlines, and a smaller geometric arrangement between them. The surface shows variations in color intensity, particularly through the orange sections and lower central motif. These irregularities give the red and orange pattern a less uniform appearance without obscuring its structure.The design is arranged along the length of the rug. Two prominent geometric panels contain diamond-shaped centers surrounded by angular orange forms, while the middle section includes smaller cross-like figures and stepped outlines. Cream-colored triangular shapes repeat along both long edges, framed by dark brown borders. Narrow orange end finishes complete the composition. The pattern is strongly geometric rather than floral, with a clear tribal character and a balanced arrangement of larger and smaller motifs.This Turkish rug has visible surface variation consistent with its vintage condition. Some orange areas appear lighter and more uneven than the surrounding red field, and the woven surface has subtle differences in texture and color density. The lower geometric panel contains particularly noticeable tonal variation. The edges retain slight natural irregularities, while the dark border gives the rug a defined outline. These details soften the contrast between the brighter orange motifs and the deeper red background. The result is a patterned surface that shows its age rather than presenting a uniformly finished appearance.At 3.6 feet wide and 9.5 feet long, this long runner rug offers substantial floor coverage without requiring the space of a conventional large area rug. Its proportions work particularly well in a wide hallway, an extended entryway, or a passage connecting two living areas. The 110 cm width provides a broader walking surface than many narrow runners, so measuring the available floor space is important. The geometric layout remains readable from either end, making the rug suitable for a long, unobstructed placement.The hand-knotted construction and distinctive pattern also make this Herki rug relevant to buyers seeking a handwoven rug, handmade rug, or knotted wool rug with visible character. As a vintage Herki rug, it combines a red ground, orange geometric ornament, dark outlining, and contrasting cream borders. The term Kurdish Herki rug refers to the seller-confirmed Herki origin, while the visible design itself is best described through its angular motifs and tribal styling. A piece of textile history: Made in Türkiye in the 1970s. It is a link to an earlier era. It brings a sense of history to the room.This red tribal runner works well with pale wood, neutral stone, white walls, and furniture in dark brown or charcoal finishes. In a hallway or entryway, the dark perimeter keeps the red field visually contained, while the orange details bring contrast to otherwise restrained surroundings. The visible surface variation is part of the piece\'s character and is best appreciated where the full length of the rug can remain uncovered.SpecsProduct: Vintage rugOrigin: HerkiCountry of manufacture: TürkiyePeriod: 1970sConstruction: Hand-knottedWidth: 3.6 ft (110 cm)Length: 9.5 ft (291 cm)Primary color: RedSecondary color: OrangeAdditional visible colors: Cream and dark brownPattern: GeometricStyle: TribalShape: RectangularPlacement: Wide hallway, entryway, or long passageCondition: Vintage, with visible tonal variation, surface irregularities, and areas of uneven coloration
