Vintage Striped Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner BB8705 2'3" × 12'1" $7,000

This striking vintage Kilim runner from the 1950s captures the raw beauty of traditional craftsmanship with a distinctly modern sensibility. Handwoven with natural wool fibers, the piece presents a richly textured surface composed of earthy hues—ranging from chestnut and cocoa to flecks of ivory and cream—arranged in subtly shifting horizontal bands. Its understated striped pattern reflects a timeless, organic aesthetic, evoking both warmth and grounding simplicity.

The weaver’s artisanal touch is visible in the runner’s irregular textures and natural variegation, lending it an unrepeatable charm. The wool retains its original integrity and a pleasing, tactile softness. Perfect for narrow spaces like hallways or entryways, this Kilim runner adds a sense of depth and heritage to both contemporary and rustic interiors.

A beautiful example of mid-century village weaving, this runner offers not just function, but soulful character and a piece of textile history.
