Tribal Kelly Turkish Handwoven Kilim Runner - 2'7'' x 6'5''

A column of large stepped diamonds in teal, rust, and plum runs through a red-orange field. Relaxed and collected, it is a tribal kilim runner with the easy spirit of boho chic and rustic decor.

Woven flat, with no pile, this Turkish kilim rug carries the symmetrical layout, geometric motifs, and naturally dyed color of the tribal kilim tradition. The hand-spun wool takes natural dye unevenly in the best way, so the whole design, including the column of large stepped diamonds on a red-orange field, shows subtle, lively variation in color. Designers often use a kilim to add pattern and warmth to a neutral room, or to layer over jute and sisal for a collected, eclectic look.

The kilim is one of the oldest forms of rug weaving, with roots in Anatolia and across the Near East that stretch back thousands of years. The symmetrical layouts and bold stepped forms seen today follow the same tribal vocabulary that nomadic weavers used for tent floors and walls.

Refined yet rustic, this kilim runner rug adds the character of hand woven tribal weaving to any long space. Use it as a hallway runner, an entryway runner, or a kitchen runner in front of the sink. Its geometric patterns and natural palette complement Southwestern, traditional, and modern decor alike.
