Antique Turkish Mudjur Runner Rug

Size: 4′ x 16′
Material: Hand-knotted wool on wool foundation
Origin: Mujdur, Western Anatolia, Turkey
Age: Circa 1920
Condition: Excellent

This magnificent Turkish Mujdur runner rug is a rare and captivating example of Anatolian weaving, featuring a bold tribal aesthetic and a richly symbolic design. Measuring 4 by 16 feet, it’s ideally proportioned for hallways, galleries, or elongated spaces, bringing vibrant energy and history into any interior.

The rug’s composition centers around a series of stepped diamond medallions in striking shades of indigo blue, golden saffron, and moss green, all set against a radiant red field. Each medallion is interconnected by a vertical axis, echoing ancient Anatolian motifs that symbolize unity and protection. Flanking each side of the medallions are stylized vines and rosette-like motifs, adding rhythm and tribal charm.

The green side panels enhance the visual impact while grounding the central design with balance. The borders are intricately filled with geometric devices, floral rosettes, and reciprocal elements, all rendered in deeply saturated natural dyes—cochineal red, lapis blue, ivory, and earthy brown.

Hand-knotted with wool on a wool foundation, this piece exemplifies the durability and warmth characteristic of Western Anatolian craftsmanship. The weave is tight and consistent, and the rug remains in excellent condition for its age, with strong pile and well-preserved color integrity.

Whether used as a statement runner in a modern home or as a collector’s treasure, this Mujdur rug offers a timeless blend of beauty, symbolism, and tribal authenticity.
