Exceptional Vintage Kars Handwoven Kilim Runner (c. 1960s) | Natural Dyes, Authentic Flatweave
Elevate your interior design with this remarkable vintage Turkish Kilim runner, a true piece of textile artistry from the Kars region of Eastern Turkey. Handwoven by villagers circa the 1960s for their personal use, this piece carries a genuine, soulful authenticity that mass-produced items cannot replicate.
Design Philosophy: Wabi-Sabi Meets Contemporary
This Kilim's charm lies in its perfect imperfection, making it a quintessential fit for both Wabi-Sabi and Japandi aesthetics. The slight, natural deviation from a perfect rectangle and the organic, rich color variations are evidence of its human, handwoven origin. It’s a celebration of raw material and masterful simplicity.
The powerful geometric design features repeating central hexagons and bold borders, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of natural dyes. Its dimensions make it an ideal choice for:
Long Hallways: Adding warmth and direction to transitional spaces.
Kitchen Runners: Bringing texture and color to a functional area.
Layering: Placing atop larger neutral rugs for an eclectic, textured look.
Craftsmanship & Provenance
Dimensions: 4 ft 8 in ×10 ft 3 in .
Material: 100% naturally dyed wool on a durable cotton foundation.
Technique: Authentic flatweave (Kilim), resulting in a thin, reversible textile.
Condition: In very good vintage condition for its age (c. 1960s). It has been meticulously professionally cleaned and is ready to grace your home immediately.
Uniqueness: A rare, one-of-a-kind example of Kars weaving, both in size and specific pattern.
Invest in a piece of textile history that offers not just floor coverage, but a dynamic, artful foundation for your curated space.
