Vintage Alizarin Fixed Star 3’5 x 7 circa 1925-1935

A hand-knotted vintage runner woven in Eastern Anatolia in the early 20th century. The composition is organized around a strong central axis, framed by protective hooked medallions and rosette motifs traditionally associated with continuity and abundance.

The palette is grounded in a deep garnet red field, balanced by inky indigo and charcoal borders with softened accents of moss and aged gold. The wool has a matte, organic finish with subtle abrash throughout, reflecting decades of wear and natural dye variation.

A powerful, architectural piece with unmistakable village character.

• Good antique condition consistent with age

• Even overall wear throughout the field

• Low to medium pile with areas of gentle, age-related thinning

• Minor edge wear and softening at corners

• No holes or structural weaknesses

• Ends and selvages intact
