About the Item
Vintage Kilim Runner with Subtle Bamboo Motif
Size: 3'10" × 10'9" (116 × 327 cm)
This rare 1940s vintage Kilim runner embodies the elegant restraint and refined minimalism characteristic of mid-century textile art. Woven in subtle tonal variations of earthy greens and browns, the rug features a faint, yet deliberate, depiction of stylized bamboo stalks and foliage—a motif deeply rooted in East Asian symbolism, often associated with strength, resilience, and harmony.
The composition is meticulously balanced, with the bamboo gracefully crossing diagonally, forming a rhythmic pattern across the field. Wispy cloud-like shapes add to the atmospheric quality, evoking traditional Chinese ink wash paintings. The muted palette enhances the quiet sophistication of the design, making it ideal for interiors that embrace natural textures and a serene aesthetic.
Framed with a classic Greek key border and punctuated by round medallions subtly emerging from the woolen background, the rug’s structure balances organic movement with geometric order. Despite its age, the rug retains a remarkable level of design clarity and charm, even with areas of fading that contribute to its poetic patina.
Handwoven using flatweave Kilim techniques, this runner is not just a floor covering but a textile canvas that whispers of cultural symbolism and artisan dedication. Its elongated size and narrow width make it especially well-suited for hallways, entryways, or stair landings where its understated beauty can be fully appreciated.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
