Crafted by Anatolian artisans in the 1970s, this authentic hand-knotted Turkish runner rug embodies the rustic charm and soulful character of Southeast Anatolia’s weaving tradition. Its elongated form and timeless tribal design make it a stunning accent for hallways or kitchen galleys, offering both visual warmth and a sense of grounded heritage.
This extra-long vintage runner was originally woven by local villagers for their own personal use rather than for sale — a detail that adds deep authenticity and cultural value. The foundation is camel wool blended with natural sheep’s wool on a sturdy cotton base, producing a durable, slightly coarse texture. The earthy tones and geometric medallions give it a boho–farmhouse feel that pairs beautifully with both traditional and modern interiors. Perfect for daily use in corridors or narrow living spaces, it’s a true piece of Anatolian craftsmanship ready to bring warmth and story to your home.

What Is a Turkish Kilim?
Origins — Turkish rugs and kilims have been woven for centuries by nomadic and village communities across Anatolia. Each region developed its own visual language rooted in geography, belief, and local materials.
Symbolism — Many Anatolian weavings carry motifs representing prosperity, fertility, or spiritual protection. Geometric medallions, ram’s horns, or star shapes often symbolize unity and strength.
Weaving Technique — Unlike flat-woven kilims, this piece is a hand-knotted pile rug, where each knot is tied individually onto a cotton warp. The mixture of camel and sheep wool gives it natural resilience and tactile warmth, typical of mid-20th-century rural craftsmanship.
Modern Relevance — Today, Turkish rugs are celebrated as living artifacts of folk art—timeless, sustainable, and always one-of-a-kind. Whether used on the floor or displayed decoratively, each rug connects modern interiors to a long heritage of artistry and storytelling.
