An authentic narrow Turkish Konya hand-woven Kilim Runner Rug from the Konya region of Turkey - a long Kilim for hallways and corridors, or narrow spaces.  Flatwoven using flatweave Kilim technique as well as decorative cicim weft wrapping in 100% wool.  Traditionally Kilims from the Konya region come in a wide range of designs - we love the gorgeous unusual greens and bold panels in this piece - don't expect perfection in this handmade rug - its slightly wider from one end to the other.   This original vintage Kilim runner rug from Turkey measures approximately 91x352cm (3 x 11.6½ft).

Konya is the ancient capital of Seljuk Empire and is situated on the great trade route expanding from China to Constantinople and is famous for its Rugs and Kilims which make great, functional and decorative interior floor coverings. Some of the oldest surviving examples of Anatolian Turkish Kilims are from this area and the designs are very diverse in that many villages used to weave and would have had their own unique patterns. Find out more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.
