On the Design:

This exquisite runner weaves a soothing palette and abstract geometry into a textile that feels both ancient and remarkably modern.

The design is structured around horizontal bands filled with interlocking, dissolving forms that resemble softened chevrons or painterly brushstrokes.

The color story is deeply sophisticated and warm, featuring dominant shades of dusty rose, peach, and soft beige, beautifully anchored by accents of deep chocolate brown and surprising slate gray.

This interplay between warm and cool tones, coupled with the abrash within the bands, grants the piece a remarkable depth and texture.

Small, traditional folk motifs at the borders provide a cultural frame for the abstract central field. The weaving carries the spontaneous, artful quality of a piece made for personal use, showcasing the weaver’s intuitive command over color and form. It is a subtly powerful piece that adds quiet complexity and warmth to any floor.

Condition:

This vintage kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage. See less
