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.

Great Experience Buying My Office Rug

I needed an area rug for my office and narrowed it down to two colors of Turkish patchwork ones online. At first, I thought that I would order them both, keep the one that I wanted and return the other.But in discussion with the people at Kilim, they offered to superimpose images of my options with pictures I took of the office. The images were amazing! And made my choice obvious. I ordered one rug.When it arrived, I took a picture of the office with the real rug and could barely tell the difference between the real picture and the simulation they sent the week before.It was a wonderful 21st century rug buying experience.

Perfect for what was needed

Great service. If you needed colour clarifications, they were readily available. Product arrived on time and was as described on the website. These carpets aren't backed so they may need an underlayer.

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!
