3'2x8'4 ft Antique Afghan Pile Runner Rug | Handknotted Tribal Four Medallion | Ivory & Multicolor Wool | Hallway Runner Entryway Boho Decor

About this rug

A spectacular and unusually fine antique Afghan pile runner featuring four large geometric star medallions stacked vertically down a wide ivory field — each one distinct in its ground color yet unified by the same bold stepped geometric form, creating a stunning sequence of color and pattern that runs the full length of the rug.
The four medallions each sit within their own square panel ground — dusty slate blue at the top, open ivory in the second, deep burgundy red in the third, and warm mauve in the fourth — giving each medallion a completely different mood and character. The medallion forms themselves are built from bold interlocking stepped Greek key and meander arms in teal blue, orange, ivory, and dark brown, each centered with a vivid eight-pointed star in red, orange, navy, and ivory. The variety of color combinations across the four medallions gives the runner an extraordinary visual richness and energy from one end to the other.
The wide ivory border is densely filled with a repeating large leaf and arrow motif in teal blue, red, burgundy, olive, and gold — bold, angular, and deeply tribal — running along both long sides and framed by a narrow teal blue outer guard stripe with fine zigzag detail. Natural ivory fringe at both short ends. The naturally mellowed antique colors and gently worn pile surface carry the warmth and authenticity that only genuine age can bring — impossible to replicate in any new piece.
Hand-knotted with a medium wool pile. At 3'2 x 8'4 ft it is a perfect hallway runner, entryway runner, or long living room accent piece of genuine antique collector quality.
