Vintage Tribal Kilim Runner 2' 11" x 9' 2" (35" x 110")

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. 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.
