  • All of our rugs are professionally cleaned; gentle wear from age and natural irregularities are inherent features of these one-of-a-kind handwoven vintage rugs.
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.

This Vintage Herki Kilim Runner showcases a rich tapestry of design and motifs that reflect its cultural heritage. The striking patterns and vibrant colors feature a combination of geometric shapes, central medallions, and intricate borders that draw the eye and add warmth to any space.

  • Design: The rug presents a bold, graphic quality with a blend of angular lines and symmetrical motifs. The central medallions provide a focal point that anchors the design, while the adjoining patterns create a sense of movement and rhythm throughout the runner.
  • Motifs: The motifs include:
    • Geometric shapes representing mountains and landscapes, symbolizing the connection to nature.
    • Diamond and hexagonal patterns that embody unity and harmony.
    • Colorful borders with repetitive shapes, emphasizing continuity and tradition.
  • Integration with Interior Design Styles:
    • Bohemian: The eclectic mix of colors and patterns reflects the free-spirited essence of Bohemian style, perfectly complementing layered textiles and a mix of vintage decor.
    • Modern: A Vintage Herki Kilim Runner introduces an unexpected element to modern minimalist spaces, adding warmth and cultural depth without overwhelming simplicity.
    • Traditional: The historical significance and craftsmanship of the Kilim align seamlessly with traditional decor, enhancing spaces filled with classic furniture and artworks.
    • Scandinavian: The simplicity of the geometric patterns balances well with Scandinavian design’s affinity for functional minimalism, adding a pop of color and texture.
    • Eclectic: The lively patterns work beautifully in eclectic settings that celebrate individuality, making an artful statement alongside diverse furnishings.

The richness of the Herki Kilim Runner in both its design and motifs provides versatility in decorating. With its ability to blend harmoniously with varying styles, it enhances the aesthetic appeal and character of any space.

We received our patchwork Kilim and are very happy with it. Thank you Ida for all your help & suggestions in choosing this custom rug. I can truly say I have never had better service for any company - EVER! My emails were answered daily with such patience.
