Vintage Anatolian ember and onyx bird Gallery Rug - 4’8 x 9’10

A rare symbolic weaving with birds, branching motifs, and timeless hand-dyed colorwork. Hand-knotted in the Kurdish villages of north-west Persia in the mid-20th century (circa 1940–1960), this striking runner tells a story of nomadic life and artistic freedom. A bold shield-like medallion in glowing saffron and ember orange floats on a deep charcoal/onyx field populated with small birds and stylized tree-of-life motifs — emblems of protection and fertility in Kurdish weaving tradition.

Sized at 4’8 × 9’10, it’s a versatile gallery runner — wide enough for a grand hallway, layered under a console, or anchoring a long kitchen. Its palette bridges earthy warmth and dramatic contrast, making it equally at home in modern, bohemian, or traditional interiors.
