Handmade semi antique Turkish Village Kilim runner rug from Van in eastern Turkey - hand-woven using flatweave slit weave kilim technique using wool on wool. This kelim runner measures approximately 70x163cm (2.3½ x 5.4ft) excluding any tassels - a nice long and narrow size which is great for hallways and corridors or narrow spaces - we love this out of the ordinary little runner, we rarely find nice vintage rugs like this with a classic eastern Turkey design and those classic warm Van colours - a cute little runner.

The City of Van is east of Lake Van – an ancient capital of the greater Kingdom Armenia and a city of great importance for both Kurds, Turks and Armenians alike. The tradition of Kilim and Carpet weaving has been established in this region for a long time and the work is generally carried out by Kurdish people; the weaving resembles some of the Kilims made by the Kurds. There are many interesting types of nomadic or semi-nomadic piled and flat-woven rugs produced in this area. Turkish Van Kilim rugs are often darker colours in reds, blues and creams but can occasionally have a lovely soft colour palette. Van Kilims usually have busy designs with hooked, diamond-shaped medallions, horizontal bands filled with smaller medallions and hexagonal motifs. For info on our Underlays for Rugs look here.
