Mahdi is a vintage Turkish Overdyed Runner.  

These sturdy vintage knotted pile rugs come from the Western Anatolian region of Isparta. They were made between 1940 and 1960. They have now been recycled to create a thoroughly unique, modern and colourful floor covering. 

The pile on these old/new rugs has been pared back, the original dyes neutralized, then the rug over-dyed with a deeply saturated single colour.

This runner has retained it's original pattern with a bold and beautiful pistachio tone throughout the main field and goldy/mustard florets  through the centre and along the end fringe border. We have two pieces that are almost identical to each other and would look excellent down a long hallway.

YUVA is a specialist importer of kilims, and other vintage rugs, runners, saddle-bags, cushions and bags. With a love of traditional artistry and an eye for quality, we have found our passion in sourcing beautiful Turkish goods, all hand woven with a rich history.

Our goal is simply to introduce New Zealand to the timeless allure of Turkish rugs and make these beautiful products accessible to everyone. We work closely with collectors, interior designers and first time buyers seeking to add a touch of elegance to their living space. We provide expert advice, ensuring that every customer finds the perfect rug that speaks to their unique style.

Our team travels to Turkey annually to discover new trends, purchase new items and support the local communities that bring these artworks to life. Each piece is personally selected, no two are ever the same. Great attention is given to quality, design, colour harmony and of course, value for money.
