Istanbul Lesha Brown/Tan Wool Runner - 3'0'' x 12'10''

Dark brown diamond lattices filled with scrolling vines run the full length of a tan field, inside a gray floral border. The repeating design carries the eye down the length of a hall. This 3x13 Istanbul runner comes in brown and tan.

Long runners have a special place in Turkish homes, where they were woven to fit hallways, staircases and the long sides of rooms. At nearly 13 feet long, this runner carries a continuous chain of dark brown diamond lattices from one end to the other, each one filled with scrolling vines. The tan ground is hand-spun wool dyed with all-natural vegetable dyes, and its gentle shade shifts keep the long field from looking flat. Every knot is tied by hand with the Turkish double knot, so the pattern stays sharp along the whole length.

Its long length is made for a long hallway, a wide entry or a long gallery space. The warm brown and tan 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.
