This Onyx runner showcases the distinctive oxidized wool technique that creates its signature jewel-toned palette of deep blues and soft greys. The geometric patterns flow along the length in traditional motifs, with the oxidation process creating subtle texture variations that catch light differently across the surface. The field displays intricate diamond and star formations that repeat in harmonious succession, while the varied pile heights from the oxidation technique add visual depth and tactile interest.

Woven in Afghanistan using time-honored methods, this runner represents the specialized Onyx tradition where artisans selectively treat areas of the wool pile through oxidation. The process requires exceptional skill to achieve the precise color gradations and texture contrasts that define authentic Onyx rugs. Made from durable Ghazni highland wool and secured with traditional hand-knotted construction, this piece combines artistic innovation with proven longevity.

At nearly sixteen feet in length, this runner works beautifully in long hallways, galley kitchens, or beside king-size beds. The narrow width makes it ideal for defining pathways while the sophisticated color scheme complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
