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.

Verified orderAbsolute favorite source of rugs!
We recently ordered a rug from Kilim.com to replace one that we truly loved but that had become a tripping hazard after years of wear and tear. I ordered what I thought was the best match for a replacement. Shortly after placing my order, I got an email from Ida with additional photos of the rug I had selected, as she wanted to make sure that I was aware that the rug was a bit more green in undertone than had been reflected in the original photos. I told her what we were looking for and sent a couple of photos of the room where it was going and the rug we were looking to replace, and she sent a couple of other options they also had in similar sizes and colors. In the end, we decided to stick with our original choice, and it arrived in South Carolina from Istanbul just days later, true to the photos she had sent. Overall, we are thrilled with our purchase and will DEFINITELY order from Kilim.com--excellent products and phenomenal customer service!

Verified orderThis was my second purchase from Kilim
This was my second purchase from Kilim. I loved my first rug so much I had to get a second for another room. The photos with the crayons really helped give me a "true" feel for the color so I was even more excited when it came and was better in person.
This is the second rug I’ve purchased…
