This vintage Turkish kilim runner was woven in the 1960s in the Mediterranean Antalya region, an area known for expressive color stories and rhythmic geometric compositions. Crafted in wool on a cotton foundation and dyed with vegetable-based colors, it features stepped-diamond medallions and soft zig-zag transitions that lend an effortless sense of movement.

Blending magenta, tangerine, mustard, deep madder red, slate and indigo blues, taupe, espresso, peach, olive, and grounding black accents, the runner offers both expressive vibrancy and sophisticated balance. Whether used in a hallway, galley kitchen, beside a bed, or as a layered accent, it brings intentional color and artisan character to curated interiors.

Professionally cleaned and in very good vintage condition, it retains the tactile irregularities and handmade charm that give authentic kilims their depth and cultural resonance.

Color Palette & Design Insight
A refined blend of magenta, tangerine orange, mustard yellow, deep red, slate blue, indigo blue, taupe, espresso brown, peach, olive green, and black detailing.
The palette reinforces the stepped-diamond sequence, creating a dynamic warm–cool dialogue ideal for both modern and traditional design contexts. The geometric rhythm offers a strong visual anchor that complements layered, transitional, and boho-inflected spaces.

Interior-Styling
This runner performs exceptionally well in designer-led spaces thanks to its narrow, elongated scale and confident color structure. In a hallway, it introduces warmth and movement, creating a visual "pathway" that guides the eye and elongates the space. In galley kitchens, the piece softens hard surfaces and adds artisanal texture without overwhelming the vertical lines of cabinetry. Placed alongside a bed, it provides a warm, tactile landing zone while bringing color focus to an otherwise quiet palette. For open-plan rooms, it layers beautifully over hardwood or stone floors, acting as a tonal bridge between furniture groupings. The strong geometry pairs effortlessly with mid-century, Scandinavian, Mediterranean rustic, and curated boho interiors, making it a versatile styling tool in both residential and boutique commercial settings.

What Is a Turkish Kilim/Rug?
Turkish kilims are flat-woven textiles made on traditional looms using interlocking weft techniques. Unlike pile rugs, they have no knotting, giving them a lighter, more flexible structure ideal for hallways, kitchens, and layered contemporary interiors. Each kilim reflects the culture, symbolism, and color language of the village where it was woven.
