Chic Paulene Turkish Handwoven Kilim Runner - 2'7'' x 9'9''

Tall stepped diamonds in orange, teal, and plum stand in a column on a pale sage field. Warm, graphic, and quietly bold, it is a blue kilim runner with a palette that works across seasons.

Bold geometry meets soft, earthy color in this hand woven wool kilim, a natural fit for eclectic, global, and mid-century modern homes. The hand-spun wool takes natural dye unevenly in the best way, so the whole design, including the column of tall stepped diamonds, shows subtle, lively variation in color. The flat weave is a good partner for Scandinavian and Nordic rooms, where handmade texture warms clean lines and pale wood.

The word kilim is Turkish, and the flat-woven rugs that carry the name come from a tradition of nomadic and village weaving in Anatolia. Today the kilim remains prized for the same reasons: honest craft, vivid natural color, and designs with a story behind them.

A natural fit for modern farmhouse and cottage kitchens and halls, this hand woven wool runner sits beautifully with reclaimed wood and aged brass. Use it as a hallway runner rug, a kitchen runner, or an entryway runner that welcomes guests.
