This intricately patterned vintage kilim runner was handwoven by the Herki tribe, a semi-nomadic Kurdish tribe residing in the mountainous regions of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq. Typically crafted during the late 20th century, Herki kilims are renowned for their geometric motifs, bold color combinations, and precise craftsmanship. Each piece was meticulously woven from natural fibers, embodying the traditional flat-weave technique that ensures durability and portability.
The designs feature a rich array of symbols representing tribal culture and Anatolian motifs, often in the form of medallions, diamonds, and other geometric shapes.

The designs feature a rich array of symbols representing tribal culture and Anatolian motifs, often in the form of medallions, diamonds, and other geometric shapes. These kilim runners are ideal for hallways and narrow spaces, offering a touch of ethnic charm and artisanal quality to any interior.
Herki kilims not only serve as functional floor coverings but also as artistic expressions of tribal identity, making each rug a unique cultural artifact.

The Vintage Tribal Kilim Runner showcases a vibrant and intricate design that captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship. The underlying structure is often characterized by geometric patterns, which highlight significant tribal motifs. Here are as follows:

  • Geometric Designs: The zigzag patterns and diamond shapes represent the mathematical precision and artistic expression of the artisans. These designs infuse energy and movement into the space.
  • Color Palette: The use of warm tones such as rust, deep pinks, and earthy browns harmonizes beautifully with neutral decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
  • Motifs: Common motifs in Kilim rugs include stylized flowers, animals, and abstract shapes, each possessing cultural significance and conveying stories of the weaver’s heritage.

This Kilim runner integrates seamlessly into various interior design styles, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of rooms with its unique charm:

  • Bohemian: The vibrant colors and eclectic patterns add a carefree spirit, making it a perfect fit for bohemian interiors filled with mix-and-match decor.
  • Modern: When styled in a contemporary space, the Kilim runner serves as a striking contrast against minimalist furnishings, introducing warmth and depth.
  • Rustic: The natural fibers and tribal designs resonate well with rustic or farmhouse styles, complementing wooden elements and cozy textiles.
  • Mid-Century Modern: The geometric patterns align with mid-century aesthetics, lending a retro vibe that appeals to lovers of smooth lines and vibrant colors.

Amazing Hallway Runner!

This rug is absolutely beautiful! I was looking for a vintage rug for a long hallway and was slightly hesitant to purchase it on line. The rug was refurbished to absolutely perfect condition. I could not be more pleased!

Our go-to source for high quality kilims

We have now had three excellent buying experiences with Kilim.com over a span of two and a half years, so I think we're in a good position to recommend the business in the highest possible terms. Having been to Turkey and shopped for rugs the old-fashioned way, we find there's no contest: buying a kilim on Kilim.com is hands-down the way to go. The ability to search for a rug by size, age, and price is a tremendous advantage. The superb photographs and descriptions are a great aid in visualizing the rug in a new home. And the ease of the transaction can't be beat. See a rug; pay for it online; and, in a few days, the beautiful thing arrives at your doorstep. What could be easier? The staff at Kilim.com, in particular Ida Gurel, couldn't be more helpful or responsive. The email notices about special sales come at just the right intervals to remind us about this very special online store. In short, Kilim.com has become our go-to source for both vintage and modern kilims. Top marks!

We were absolutely delighted with both the service and our new Kilim rug. The rug is even better than the picture (and it looked pretty sweet in the pic). And it was delivered very quickly. Loved the bookmarks, postcards and Evil Eye that came with the rug!

beautiful long kilim runner

I ordered a long runner, it came quickly, even more beautiful than the picture. Colors rich and workmanship excellent. I had a question about how to clean my rug when necessary and kilim.com responded well and immediately. I highly recommend them.
