This antique Turkish Malatya kilim runner from Eastern Anatolia dates to the 1920 period. The wool flatweave displays geometric diamond medallions in terracotta red, teal blue, and dark brown against an ivory background, complemented by a serrated latch-hook pattern along the geometric border. The piece has fringe at both ends and slit-weave patterning throughout. Measuring 355 cm high by 155 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the runner is presented in outstanding condition with no wear and has been hand washed. It suits placement as a floor covering in a living room, hallway, or bedroom within an Anatolian tribal or Glastonbury boho interior scheme.

FAQs

Originating from Eastern Anatolia, Malatya kilims are traditional flatweave textiles renowned for their bold geometric patterns, distinctive diamond medallions, and vibrant colour palettes derived from natural dyes.

Anatolian kilims are handwoven primarily using natural hand-spun wool yarn for both warp and weft strands, creating a durable, double-sided flatweave fabric without pile.

Authentic kilims exhibit natural colour variations, known as abrash, alongside hand-spun wool textures, traditional slit-weave construction techniques, and authentic end-fringe structures rather than machine-stitched trims.

A flatweave kilim runner introduces colour and texture to hallway spaces, entrances, or open-plan areas, pairing effectively with contemporary minimalist furniture, natural wood tones, and leather accents.

Regular gentle vacuuming using suction only without a rotating brush bar removes surface dust. Spills should be blotted immediately with clean water, and professional rug cleaning services are recommended for deep maintenance.
