Made with hand-woven wool originating from Turkey between 1950-1960, this vintage mid-century Kilim runner enjoys a marriage of rare, warm peach orange colorway and subtle variations in geometry and colorway complementing the spacious length of the piece. The accenting hues of varied green and beige along the border and field lend a very distinct, tribal sense of movement seldom seen in such intricacy along a 3x12 runner, let alone in this very soothing pallet of warmth and symmetry appealing to a wider variety of projects. While the field medallions further enjoy this skillful use of variation, a connoisseur will note the slight resemblance the motifs bear to the classic akrepi, or scorpion, symbol widely believed to signify protection even while the motif at a glance borrows notable elements of the more popular ram’s horn motif. The varied interpretations of the prevalent tribal symbols, as well as the variety of accenting geometric figures, lend to the rarity and conversational appeal of this Kilim runner matched only by its versatility in size and color underfoot—a favorite among the additions to our mid-century additions.
