About the Item

Made with handwoven wool in Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 2x8 vintage kilim runner is a particularly exciting, rare find in Rug Kilim’s collection of panel-woven Kilims. This piece serves as a sophisticated study in Mid-Century Modern minimalism, stripping away traditional ornamentation to focus on the raw beauty of natural fibers and subtle tonal shifts. On the Design: This striking, tonal vintage kilim presents a sophisticated visual tension where mid-century boldness meets tribal abstraction. A play of oatmeal, greige, and soft sand in a simple, minimalist repeat is quintessential to the most reserved classics of this style. Keen eyes will further admire the subtle look of abrashed patina and striation within the neutral field—an intricate and tasteful classic element of Kilims and similar pieces that lends even this more humble palette a subtle sense of movement within the hues. What makes it truly special is the unique, minimalist geometry of the design. It features a repeating pattern of highly abstracted forms that create a powerful, rhythmic sense of movement across the entire runner. This highly modern approach is an intriguing departure from the polychromatic complexity found in traditional kilims of its period. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both an exemplar of the minimalist Turkish style and a cozy, comfortable piece of versatile size and beauty for any space. Condition: This vintage Turkish Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
