Istanbul Sydney Brown/Gold Wool Runner - 4'2'' x 12'8''

A long row of dark brown diamond lattices with gold and gray scrollwork fills a soft gold field, inside a wide gray border. The repeating design carries the eye down the length of a hall. This 4x13 Istanbul runner comes in brown and gold.

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest covered markets in the world, has traded handmade rugs for centuries, and the Istanbul style draws on that long tradition. This long, wide runner shows a full row of dark brown diamond lattices, each one detailed with gold and gray scrollwork, on a soft gold field. The extra width gives the pattern room to breathe. It is hand knotted from 100% hand-spun wool with all-natural vegetable dyes, and the wide gray border is tied with the Turkish double knot for clean edges along its nearly 13-foot length.

Its long length is made for a long hallway, a wide entry or a long gallery space. The warm brown and gold palette suits traditional and transitional rooms and pairs well with wood floors, leather and brass. It is a timeless piece that blends Persian-inspired elegance with an easy, modern feel.
