Istanbul Hsiu Brown/Gold Wool Runner - 3'2'' x 11'3''

A chain of large charcoal brown diamond lattices runs down a soft gray-brown field, inside a wide gray border of curling leaves. The pattern repeats from end to end, so it looks balanced from either side. It is a 3x11 hand knotted Istanbul runner in brown and gold.

The Turkish double knot, also called the Ghiordes knot after a historic weaving town in western Anatolia, wraps each knot around two warp threads, which makes the pile sturdy and long-lasting. The charcoal brown diamond lattices on this runner are drawn with fine scrolling lines, and every one of those curls is tied by hand with the Turkish double knot. The soft gray-brown ground lets the darker pattern stand out without feeling heavy. It is made from 100% hand-spun wool with all-natural vegetable dyes, and the gold accents in the border pick up the light and add warmth to the cool tones.

It fits a hallway, an entry, a kitchen or the side of a bed. The warm brown and gold palette suits traditional and transitional rooms and pairs well with wood floors, leather and brass. It adds texture, depth and timeless beauty to both traditional and transitional homes.
