Woven in the Sivas region of Central Anatolia in the 1960s, this vintage Turkish kilim runner combines a finely striped ground with delicate hand-embroidered details for a look that feels both traditional and surprisingly modern. The slim, elongated format is ideal for gallery-like hallways, bright kitchens, or as a colorful passage leading into a living room, bringing authentic village character into contemporary interiors.
Bands of madder red, walnut brown, mustard gold, and soft lavender-grey run the full length of the rug, punctuated by zigzag borders, chevron “wheat ear” forms, and scattered small tribal signs. The result is a rhythmic, linear design that visually stretches a space without overwhelming it. This is a vintage used rug in very good condition: professionally cleaned, completely odorless, and, as with most genuine handwoven pieces, not perfectly rectangular. Its light, flexible handle makes it easy to style as a hallway runner, kitchen galley rug, stair runner, or beside a bed.

✨ Color Palette & Design Insight
The palette feels warm, lively, and grounded, adding instant energy to a corridor or kitchen while still pairing beautifully with pale tile, painted cabinetry, or natural wood floors. It sits comfortably in boho, rustic farmhouse, and mid-century interiors, and also works as a strong color statement in otherwise minimal spaces.
• deep madder red and brick red stripes forming the main body
• dark walnut and charcoal browns that anchor and calm the design
• warm mustard and golden ochre bands with a subtle mid-century note
• soft lavender-grey and slate tones that cool and balance the stronger hues
• off-white and cream zigzags, arrows, and tiny motifs that highlight the structure
• small orange and yellow accents that keep the runner playful but controlled
✨ Motifs & Symbolism
Throughout the runner, repeating chevron “wheat ear” motifs evoke abundance, prosperity, and the wish for a good harvest in the home. Linear zigzag borders suggest water and movement, traditionally believed to channel energy and protect against negativity. Small hooks, S-forms, and scattered diamonds act as classic Anatolian protection symbols, woven in as quiet wishes for safety, luck, and continuity for the family. The steady rhythm of stripes and symbols gives the piece an energetic yet orderly feel that reads beautifully in long, narrow spaces.
