Vintage Mut Kilim Runner – 80-Year-Old Anatolian Handwoven Wool Rug

This rare Mut kilim runner is a genuine example of Anatolian textile heritage, handwoven nearly 80 years ago in the Mut region of southern Turkey. Made from 100% handspun wool and dyed with natural root pigments, it reflects the strength and symbolism of traditional Turkish kilim weaving.

Its bold hexagonal medallions and surrounding tribal motifs—such as hooks (çengel), stars, and rams’ horns (koçboynuzu)—represent themes of protection, unity, and fertility, common among nomadic Anatolian tribes. The deep red ground with black, ivory, green, and orange highlights gives the rug a powerful presence while retaining warmth and character.

Each kilim from Mut is unique and tells a story—this runner has aged gracefully, with a soft texture and slightly worn patina that enhances its charm. Ideal for collectors, bohemian interiors, or those seeking a cultural statement piece in a hallway, entryway, or behind a sofa.
