On the Design:

Brick red, navy blue, and beige-brown tones are the most present in the colorway, though keen eyes will further admire bright white, teal green and gold accents as well in the all over play of stripes and geometric patterns. Keen eyes will admire a subtle textural element to varied rows of geometric—an extra looping of embroidery that lends the diamond motifs, ram’s horn latch hooks, chevrons and many other tribal motifs at play a fabulous sense of dimensionality and tactile allure.

Admirers of the craft will recognize what a special find any Kilim or flatweave in this size is today, let alone one with this element typically seen in smaller area rugs and textiles. It’s an exemplar of the personal, intricate details that lend Kilims like these their particular, rustic charm and intimate beauty, and its length is a particularly versatile design element as well—especially suitable to full staircases, long hallways, table runners and more.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish Kilim runner further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
