Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960-1970, from the titular region of Turkey, this 5x14 vintage Afghan tribal kilim and gallery runner rug is an exciting addition to the Rug & Kilim Collection. This rug features a colorful play of medallion-style geometric patterns and the all-over style. On the Design: Originating from Afghanistan, this gallery runner rug is an exemplar of tribal rugs from its period and provenance. Keen eyes will admire the colorful play of medallion-style geometric patterns in beige/brown, orange, yellow and blue, and the all-over style. This rug features a repeat of the most time-honored motif, with a strong resemblance to the ram’s horn symbol, but with more attitude and movement in the colorful variations that make it such a personal piece. Condition:This mid-century Afghan kilim runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
