These twin kilims offer a rare opportunity to acquire a matched set of mid-century tribal art, perfectly suited for parallel hallways, grand entryways, or a large-scale gallery installation.

On the Design:

The design on these twin runners enjoys a deep aubergine purple with more vibrant red stripes and other complementary primary colors. There’s a rich brown accent in the background, too, though the deep purple is the more present undertone. Keen eyes will further admire the embroidery in many of the geometric patterns and its playful textural accent. It’s a very traditional runner that favors rich, deep colors and sharp geometry that Kilims are known for.

Connoisseurs will note that these twins feature nearly identical colors and patterns in the same size range. All these elements, as well as their vertical borders, may indicate that they were once woven together on the same loom. While both runners are available as individual pieces, they are most impactful when presented as a pair.

Condition:

These twin runners further enjoy good condition for mid-century Kilims. They are ready for the floor, and their versatile size offers vast design applications to long, narrow spaces in particular. See less
