11745 Turkish Konya Narrow Kilim Runner Rug 44x426cm (1.5 x 13.11½)

A very narrow vintage Turkish Konya hand-woven Kilim Runner Rug from the Konya region of Turkey - a long Kilim for hallways and corridors, or narrow spaces.  Flat woven using flat weave Kilim technique as well as a decorative cicim weft wrapping detail in 100% wool. This original Kilim runner rug measures approximately 44x426cm (1.5 x 13.11½)​ including the tassels. We love the fabulous bright and colourful cicim weave detail on this handwoven runner. This piece has some minor repairs which are virtually invisible, this can be normal for vintage rugs, it's part of the life of the rug. Traditionally Kilims from the Konya region come in a wide range of designs.  Find out more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

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.
