On the Design:

Connoisseurs and designers alike will admire the rhythmic intensity of this vintage runner, where a vibrant spectrum of rich hues underscores a sophisticated all-over style. The field is organized into a sequence of vertical bands in deep madder red, midnight blue, and earthy tan, separated by crisp cream pinstripes.

Keen eyes will appreciate the intricate geometric storytelling woven into the primary bands; stylized diamond lattices, "S" hooks, and tribal box motifs create a sense of continuous architectural movement—a true feat of precision in this narrow, elongated format.

Historically, these geometric patterns served as a visual diary for nomadic weavers, with specific symbols like the diamond representing protection and the "S" hook (or hook motif) believed to ward off the evil eye.

It’s a work of rustic charm and personal beauty, in a versatile runner size that offers vast design applications. Whether guiding the eye down a long hallway or adding a layer of tribal history to a galley kitchen, this kilim remains a grounded yet visually electric masterpiece.
