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.

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 Herki Kilim Runner features a vibrant array of colors and intricate designs that draw the eye and add character to any space. Here’s a closer look at its design, motifs, and how it integrates into various interior styles:

  • Design:
    • The runner showcases a flatweave construction typical of kilims, providing a lightweight and durable option for floor coverings.
    • It has a long, narrow shape, making it ideal for hallways, narrow spaces, or as an accent in larger rooms.
    • The color palette includes warm tones such as terracotta, soft pinks, earthy browns, and muted oranges, creating an inviting atmosphere.
  • Motifs:
    • The design features traditional geometric patterns that symbolize various cultural meanings. For instance, diamond motifs often represent prosperity, while zigzag patterns can signify the mountains or rivers.
    • Numerous small, repeating shapes create a rhythmic flow, leading the eye along the length of the runner.
    • The slight variations in color and pattern reflect the handmade nature of the kilim, providing a unique charm.
  • Integration with Interior Design Styles:
    • Bohemian: The vibrant colors and intricate patterns add an eclectic touch, perfect for layering with other textiles and art pieces.
    • Modern: In a minimalist setting, the kilim's bold motifs provide a striking contrast against neutral palettes, highlighting the beauty of simplicity.
    • Traditional: The vintage aspect of the Herki Kilim aligns well with classic styles, complementing rich wood furniture and ornate decor.
    • Rustic: The earthy tones and handcrafted appeal enhance farmhouse-style interiors, adding warmth and texture.
    • Contemporary: Pairing the runner with contemporary furniture creates a harmonious blend of old and new, adding character without overwhelming the space.

Thank You Kilim.com

This was my first purchase from Kilim.com. I was a little apprehensive because it seemed like a big purchase from a site I didn’t know but I couldn’t be happier. The site has huge selection, so much that it was difficult to choose. I ended up choosing a vintage rug. The site’s high resolution photos made it possible to judge the condition of the rug before I ordered. It shipped from Turkey, came well packaged and arrived quickly for an international order. Kilim.com also include a couple unexpected gifts, a simple but well made bag that went to my girlfriend and a nice, traditional Turkish glass charm. The good quality gifts was a classy touch. I’m not an expert on rug values but from shopping around it seems like the price was good. I want to thank Kilim.com for the great service. I am also appreciative of the hard working, under appreciated artists that make these beautiful rugs.

Helpful sales department

I was hesitant to purchase a rug from pictures on line. The colors within the rug were critical to me. Kilim.com upon my request for more color info, took additional pictures with crayons and paint swatches sitting on the carpet. That solidified my choice. The rug arrived quickly and the way it was folded and shipped left the rug without marks when placed on the floor. I wasn’t expecting it to be of the quality of my parents’ thick antique Persian rug and it wasn’t . For the price, I’m pleased with this vintage rug. It has more class and personality than a machine made rug you can find at a big box store.
