12869 Vintage Turkish Acipayam Runner Rug 62x245cm (2.0½ x 8.0½ft)

Striped handmade Turkish Acipayam kilim runner (Kelim) rug - an authentic wool rug for a long narrow hallway or corridor. Flat woven by hand using flat-weave Kilim technique. This vintage Kilim Runner from Turkey measures approximately 62x245cm (2.0½ x 8.0½ft) excluding any fringes - we love the cicim weave featured in the reddish coloured panel which is rarely found as normally these rugs would have a medallion emblem - note this piece has a wonky charm that is less visible when it's on the floor, but if you like quirky, and slighly un-uniform, then this one is for you! Check out our Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning page to find out what some of the motifs are.

Acipayam is a town and a rural district of Denizli Province in the high country between the Aegean and Mediterranean regions western of Turkey - these Kilims are woven by Turkmen Yoruk tribes - the descendants of the Turkic tribes that settled in Anatolia hundreds of years ago.
