Made with handwoven in Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 2x9 vintage Kilim runner rug is a unique piece, which draws inspiration from Uzbek rug designs. On the Design: Brick red tones underscore a play of thin stripes and large geometric patterns, favoring navy blue and beige tones. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the range of primitivist tribal motifs at work—particularly a most unusual series of hexagonal ‘hook; motifs among the many depictions of this symbol throughout the rug. Such subtle, personal details speak to the beauty of Kilims as works of nomadic folk art and culture today. It’s a work of rustic charm and rich, traditional colors, as well as narrow, long size with versatile applications.
