Traditional-Style Geometric Greek Key Light Gray Handmade Wool Runner “Obolos” N12797 2'5" × 13'0" $10,000

Softly faded geometry gives this hand-knotted wool runner its quiet architectural presence. A light gray field is lifted by pale powder blue and ivory medallions, arranged in a restrained allover rhythm that feels both classic and newly pared back. The result is a contemporary runner with the poise of a traditional fragment, offering pattern without visual weight.

A softened Greek-key border frames the composition with trellis-like precision, while the open center keeps the design airy and calm. Savonnerie-inspired in spirit, the motif work is intentionally understated, allowing the wool’s subtle texture and the tonal shifts in the weave to add depth. Its palette of light gray, blue, and pale sand makes it especially adaptable in interiors that call for a refined neutral layer.

The name Obolos reflects the coin-like medallions and heritage references woven through the design, recalling an ancient form of currency and the enduring elegance of symbolic ornament. Ideal for hallways and transitional spaces, this runner brings measured rhythm and a composed decorative line.
