About the Item

60814 Vintage Tartan Plaid Rug, 12'11 x 15'02. A celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and effortless collegiate style, this handwoven wool exquisite vintage tartan plaid rug is the very essence of preppy sophistication. Rich with history and woven with precision, this exceptional piece channels the timeless appeal of classic tartans, reminiscent of grand East Coast estates, ivy-clad libraries, and fireside gatherings at the most distinguished country clubs. The impeccable interplay of deep reds, forest greens, midnight blues, and warm ivory stripes evokes a sense of tradition and refinement, while its relaxed, slightly asymmetrical composition pays homage to the beauty of imperfection. Composed of handwoven tartan kilim fragments, this precious tartan plaid rug is a striking display of both artistry and authenticity. Each plaid pattern tells a story, with subtle variations in weave and color adding depth and character to the overall design. The juxtaposition of bold, structured checks with softly blurred edges embraces a Wabi-Sabi philosophy—celebrating the beauty of things that are aged, well-loved, and unique. Much like the classic tweeds of a perfectly worn blazer or the timeless charm of a vintage leather club chair, this piece embodies a sense of lived-in luxury that is both sophisticated and inviting. A seamless addition to interiors that balance rustic charm with refined elegance, this exclusive tartan plaid rug finds its place in everything from grand historic townhouses to cozy ski chalets and lakeside retreats. Whether it anchors a mahogany-lined study, adds warmth to a stone-clad lodge, or complements the collected aesthetic of a countryside manor, it exudes an air of cultivated ease. The rhythmic repetition of plaid patterns across this extraordinary work of art creates a sense of structure while maintaining an organic, effortless flow—making it a dynamic yet grounded element in any setting. This vintage tartan plaid rug is more than just a decorative textile; it is an heirloom-worthy statement of style and tradition. It speaks to those who appreciate the intersection of history, craftsmanship, and classic design—where sophistication meets comfort, and elegance is always understated yet intentional. Whether draped beneath a grand dining table or lending a touch of prep school charm to a reading nook, this remarkable piece weaves together a legacy of refinement and the timeless allure of Ivy League-inspired interiors. Rendered in variegated shades of scarlet red, navy blue, onyx, ivory, pistachio green, olive, blue, black and teal. This vintage flat-weave Kilim rug is backed with a cotton fabric as reinforcement. Several plaid kilim panels stitched together. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 12'11 x 15'02. Date: Mid-20th Century.
