These runners come from Turkey, woven by Herki weavers carrying a tribal tradition that has never been formalised or institutionalised. There are no workshops, no pattern books. The designs are bold geometric medallions, hooked lozenges, stepped hexagons and tribal symbols, all come from memory and instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat makes a Herki runner immediately recognisable is the wool. The pile is thick, long and has a distinctive sheen that comes from the nylon fibre blended into the yarn, a material the Herki weavers began incorporating and making entirely their own. The result is that almost luminous, intensely bright quality that no other rug tradition produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAs a vintage piece, the colours have already settled into themselves and the pile has developed a character that only time and use together produce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Najaf Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271633895680,"sku":"NR-1837","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/1805\/7216\/products\/handmade-vintage-kurdish-herki-hallway-runner-338-x-89-cm-11-x-29-598103.jpg?v=1774397550","url":"https:\/\/www.najaf.com.au\/products\/vintage-kurdish-herki-runner-338-x-89-cm-11-x-29","provider":"Najaf Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
