Turkish Kilim 1495

Long and lean, this vintage Turkish kilim runner embodies the unhurried elegance of Anatolian village weaving from the third quarter of the 20th century. Handwoven in wool on a wool foundation, the flat-weave surface carries stripes of blue, green, red, brown, and gray — each band hand-dyed with organic materials that produce the soft tonal shifts known as abrash. These natural color variations, subtly different from one end of the runner to the other, are a hallmark of authentic handmade kilims and a quality no machine-woven textile can replicate. Its generous length makes it an ideal runner for long hallways, dining rooms, or staircases.

The flat-weave construction also means it is lightweight and fully reversible, offering two tonal variations — one softened by natural light over the years, the other retaining deeper, richer hues.
