About the Item
50379 Earth-Tone Vintage Turkish Kars Rug, 07'06 x 11'10. Woven in the golden heartlands of northeastern Turkey, this hand-knotted wool vintage Kars rug captures the poetic spirit of Anatolian tradition, where every knot tells a story and every precious thread holds a memory. Born from the hands of Kurdish artisans whose craft flows like an heirloom from one generation to the next, this Kars rug radiates the quiet strength and soulful beauty of its origins. Rooted in a rich cultural legacy, it reflects the harmony of heritage and form, where time-honored tribal symbols meet the clean sensibilities of Mid-Century Modern design.
Set upon a soft, sun-kissed ground, a procession of stepped hexagonal medallions marches in rhythmic columns, each a sacred window to the past. Within these majestic diamonds, stylized floral motifs bloom—elegant abstractions of tulips and blossoms unfolding within lobed centers. Their symmetrical dance evokes the pulse of nature and the grace of repetition, while the surrounding open field breathes calm into the composition. The balance of structure and spontaneity creates a visual cadence that is both grounded and ethereal.
The border, adorned with a subtle chain of repeating ashik guls—motifs derived from the Turkish word for “knuckle bone”—adds a layer of storytelling and symbolism. These small geometric emblems, often seen in Anatolian textiles, speak of fortune, resilience, and continuity. Rendered in warm rusts, soft golds, and ochres, the rug’s palette feels as if drawn from earth and flame, inspired by the hues of harvest grain, mountain stone, and the first light of day. The abrash variations that ripple across its surface lend it depth and authenticity, like wind-worn stone or parchment marked by time.
More than a floor covering, this magnificent work of art Is a lyrical artifact—an homage to a landscape, a people, and a philosophy that honors beauty in imperfection. Its Biophilic spirit echoes the rhythm of the natural world, inviting a sense of calm and connection. Perfect for interiors rooted in Wabi-Sabi, rustic modernism, or soulful minimalism, this exceptional masterpiece invites one to tread softly, to reflect deeply, and to be enveloped in the quiet poetry of its woven form.
Rendered in variegated shades of camel, brown, beige, ecru, tan, sand, coffee, sienna, burnt umber, and pale celadon with other neutral colors.
