Anatolian Kilim Runner — 5.9 x 2.4 — No. 176

A vintage Anatolian kilim woven in a rhythmic diamond-and-stripe pattern, using the flatweave technique traditional to village regions of central Turkey. The wool is dyed in earthy reds, browns, and soft greens, offset by sharp zigzag bands and border motifs that recall mountain paths and flowing rivers. Woven mid-20th century, this piece carries the clarity and movement of a weaver’s hand working from memory — steady, strong, and full of everyday beauty.
