On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will recognize paneled Kilims as a similar old-world weaving style to patchwork rugs—in which nomadic weavers would combine long, narrow pieces of flatweave into one larger rug in a creative means to make more spacious pieces with their smaller, more portable looms. This piece enjoys a simple, forgiving repetition of geometric stripes quintessential to the style, underscores by beige, ebony black, chocolate brown and ivory in its particular range of rich hues. Keen eyes for detail may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional area rugs of its period. It’s an unsung exemplar of rustic charm and folk art as much as a comfortable, cozy handmade Kilim, with a versatile size and vast design applications therein.

Condition:

This vintage tribal kilim runner further enjoys good condition for its age and origin and is ready for the floor. See less
