This gorgeous vintage Kurdish runner is a striking example of tribal weaving from West Iran, imbued with character and cultural richness. The runner features an unusually coloured background that immediately draws the eye and sets it apart from more conventional Kurdish rugs.

At the heart of the design lies a triple medallion motif, each medallion radiating a bold geometric charm. The blue ends of the runner are particularly captivating, adorned with an engaging array of tribal animal motifs, including dogs, goats, and fish — each symbol carrying traditional meanings of loyalty, livelihood, and abundance.

Adding to its uniqueness, the piece includes a noticeable abrush (a natural variation in dye tone) at one end, giving the runner depth and a touch of tribal authenticity. The composition is elegantly framed with a triple narrow border, enhancing the piece’s structure without overpowering its central design.

This runner is not only decorative but also speaks of a nomadic heritage, making it perfect for collectors or anyone looking to bring soulful, handwoven artistry into a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
