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 Vintage Herki Kilim Runner is a stunning piece that showcases a unique blend of colors, patterns, and motifs. Below are some key characteristics that define this beautiful rug:

  • Design: The Herki Kilim features a striking geometric design with bold shapes and a harmonious combination of warm colors such as oranges, pinks, and browns. The repeating patterns create a sense of rhythm, making it a captivating piece for any space.
  • Motifs: Traditional motifs including diamonds, hexagons, and stripes are prevalent in this rug. These symbols often carry cultural significance, representing various elements of life and nature, such as fertility, protection, and community. The exact interpretation of these motifs may vary based on the region and the specific weaving traditions.
  • Integration with Interior Design Styles:
    • Modern: The geometric patterns and vibrant colors of the Kilim runner contrast beautifully with minimalist modern decor, adding a pop of interest to clean lines and neutral palettes.
    • Bohemian: The eclectic style of Bohemian interiors complements the Kilim runner perfectly. Its colorful and artistic look enhances layered textiles, mixed prints, and natural materials typically seen in Boho spaces.
    • Traditional: In traditional settings, the Herki Kilim can accentuate classic furnishings, providing a sense of history and authenticity due to its artisanal qualities and age-old designs.
    • Scandinavian: The Kilim's earthy colors blend seamlessly with the soft tones often found in Scandinavian design. The geometric patterns can add a bold visual interest to otherwise understated decor.
    • Eclectic: It can serve as a focal point in an eclectic setting, tying various design elements together while showcasing the owner's unique taste and personality.

Great shopping experience

My rug is so pretty, and the shipping was amazingly fast. I love the filter and search options on the site, and how they help with matching paint colors. I’m already looking for a second rug for my bedroom. Great shopping experience.

Wonderful

I bought a large vintage Turkish carpet and from the website experience to paying to the delivery, every step was great - clear, informative, quick! I would say selection was the hardest part - once the order was placed, receiving the carpet in just a couple of days, without having to deal with the customs, was the best part. 100% recommended. Absolutely would use again.
