Description
Handwoven Turkish Kilim Runner
This Turkish Kilim Runner was woven by skilled women using traditional flatweave techniques passed down through families. Goat hair was often added to strengthen runners intended for high use, creating a fibre blend that gives both durability and a slightly coarse feel underfoot. The visible irregularities in tone and weave reflect the handmade nature of the piece and form part of its vintage character.
Each rug is sourced directly from trusted suppliers, then cleaned and checked so it arrives ready for installation or immediate use.
Colour and Design
The runner features a dark striped layout with deep purple, teal and magenta tones woven throughout the flatweave structure. The colours appear muted in some areas and stronger in others, creating natural variation. The design has a simple linear layout that works well in both classic and modern homes.
Perfect for Staircases and Hallways
This runner is exceptionally long at 580cm, making it suitable for:
- Staircases
- Long corridors
- Shops or studios
- Cabins or indoor areas with high movement
The flatweave structure lies neatly against steps or floorboards, and the fibre blend holds up well to daily foot traffic.
For staircase use, it can be fitted by placing an underlay beneath and securing the kilim on top using grippers or adhesive. The flexible cotton base helps it mould to each step.
Durability and Long Term Use
Goat hair fibres add strength and resilience, making the runner suitable for busy households or commercial spaces. The flatweave construction is known for handling wear without losing shape.
Choosing a vintage kilim reduces reliance on modern production and offers long lasting value through its traditional fibre mix and handmade integrity.
