Rustic Vintage Turkish Avery Handwoven Kilim Runner - 6'0'' x 11'6''

Narrow vertical stripes in deep red, brown, and black run the length of the rug, with fine white dotted lines between bands. Earthy in tone and graphic in form, it is a red kilim runner that sits naturally in Scandinavian and Nordic-inspired rooms.

Made by hand in the tribal kilim tradition, this rug brings bold geometric design and a warm, natural palette together in 100% hand-spun wool. The hand-spun wool takes natural dye unevenly in the best way, so the whole design, including the narrow vertical stripes in deep red, brown and black, 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.

With its weathered color and tribal geometry, this runner suits Southwestern, cabin, and rustic halls, and warms a coastal or organic modern one just as easily. Lay it down a hallway, along a kitchen island, or through a long entry.
