Vintage kilim runner rug hand-woven in Turkey in 1960's. This tribal kilim is in very good condition and perfect for both modern and bohemian settings.

Design Elements

  • Pattern:
    • The runner features a geometric pattern characterized by diamonds and hexagons.
    • Symmetrical arrangements of shapes create a sense of balance and harmony.
    • Each motif repeats throughout the design, enhancing visual rhythm and movement.
  • Texture:
    • The flatweave technique of kilim construction lends a smooth texture, making it suitable for both decorative and functional purposes.
    • The weaving technique emphasizes the rich interaction between colors and patterns without excessive pile.

Colors

  • Warm Earth Tones:
    • Burnt oranges, reds, and browns dominate the color palette, inviting warmth and comfort.
    • These colors evoke the natural elements and landscapes from which the rug originated.
  • Pops of Contrast:
    • Neutral cream and beige tones contrast sharply with the deeper colors, adding brightness and space to the design.
    • Subtle pinks and pastels provide additional visual interest and complexity.

Main Motifs and Their Symbolism

  • Diamonds:
    • Represents wealth, protection, and fertility in tribal cultures.
    • Often associated with the idea of a life path or journey.
  • Hexagons:
    • Symbolizes unity and harmony, reflecting the interconnectedness of different aspects of life.
    • Seen as a representation of family and the home.
  • Alternating Colors:
    • The interplay of contrasting colors symbolizes balance between different forces in life, such as male and female energies.
    • Color gradients speak to the passage of time and embrace the evolution of experiences.

Summary

The vintage tribal kilim runner features intricate geometric patterns primarily focused on diamonds and hexagons, which convey themes of wealth, protection, and unity. The earthy color palette, enriched with pops of contrast, creates warmth and visual interest while representing natural landscapes. Each design element and color choice contributes to the overall symbolism of the rug, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship embedded in the piece.

Photo is reality.

Speed and the fact that the rug was exactly as depicted in website photos. I loved the lavender and the spiritual glass charm which I found in my package. The rug was well packed and protected from the elements. Overall it was a terrific experience. I currently have several other rugs in the shopping cart. I also appreciated the link to the rug pad company.

Wonderful rug, Great shipping

Arrived in a few days!The kiln is beautiful, just like the picture. I can’t stop ordering from these guys. I’ve bought a half dozen rugs over time. I think I’ve got what I need, and then I see their new catalog and just can’t help myself.

The rug is magnificent

The rug is magnificent. Utterly superb, sublime. It makes you gasp and dominates the room. It is the most beautiful quality rug I have ever seen. I will definitely go back to shop at Kilim Studio. And I won't buy my rugs anywhere else.

Beautiful

I’m so happy with my rug. It’s even more beautiful in person than it was on the site. And it arrived so quickly. Loved the little sachet of lavender inside the box. Would definitely recommend.

Absolute favorite source of rugs!

We recently ordered a rug from Kilim.com to replace one that we truly loved but that had become a tripping hazard after years of wear and tear. I ordered what I thought was the best match for a replacement. Shortly after placing my order, I got an email from Ida with additional photos of the rug I had selected, as she wanted to make sure that I was aware that the rug was a bit more green in undertone than had been reflected in the original photos. I told her what we were looking for and sent a couple of photos of the room where it was going and the rug we were looking to replace, and she sent a couple of other options they also had in similar sizes and colors. In the end, we decided to stick with our original choice, and it arrived in South Carolina from Istanbul just days later, true to the photos she had sent. Overall, we are thrilled with our purchase and will DEFINITELY order from Kilim.com--excellent products and phenomenal customer service!

Superb product, superb service!

Our two newest rugs from Kilim Studio are beautiful! The kilim and the tulu arrived just as pictured: colors true to pics, in great condition (they're both vintage), clean, pressed, and ready to accent the rooms. Service, as always, is superb. Communication is quick and easy with this company. If you're looking for kilims and/or tulus, you won't be disappointed. Great quality, great selection, great service.
