About the Item

60804 Vintage Tartan Plaid Rug, 11'02 x 11'11. A timeless celebration of heritage craftsmanship and collegiate charm, this handwoven wool vintage tartan plaid rug exudes a distinctive preppy sophistication. Rooted in the enduring traditions of Scottish tartan and Ivy League refinement, its bold interplay of rich reds, forest greens, warm ochres, and deep blues creates an atmosphere of effortless elegance. Like the well-appointed libraries of historic universities or the panel-lined halls of exclusive country clubs, this rug tells a story of tradition, intellect, and impeccable taste. Each woven panel, distinct yet harmoniously arranged, speaks to a legacy of artisanship that values both structure and spontaneity. Composed of meticulously woven tartan kilim fragments, this rug pays homage to the rich history of plaid as a symbol of identity, belonging, and timeless style. The artful juxtaposition of varying plaids—some crisp and linear, others relaxed and slightly askew—imbues the piece with a sense of dynamic movement, reminiscent of a well-worn tweed jacket or a beloved heirloom quilt. The asymmetry, far from being a flaw, is a celebration of Wabi-Sabi beauty, where imperfection enhances character and depth. It is this very contrast—the tension between formality and ease—that makes this rug a masterstroke of classic yet contemporary design. Ideal for interiors that embrace both rustic charm and academic sophistication, this tartan rug finds itself equally at home in a stately brownstone, a refined country estate, or a grand Adirondack lodge. Whether anchoring a fireside reading nook, lending warmth to a mahogany-clad study, or adding a touch of Old World character to a modern loft, its presence is undeniably transformative. The distinctive bands of color create a structured yet inviting atmosphere, effortlessly bridging the gap between bold statement and timeless subtlety. A rug of this nature is more than a decorative element—it is a narrative woven into fabric, a piece of history reimagined for contemporary living. It invites moments of quiet contemplation, lively conversation, and a lifelong appreciation for the art of craftsmanship. Steeped in tradition yet undeniably relevant, this vintage tartan plaid rug is an heirloom in waiting—ready to become an integral part of homes that appreciate classic elegance, rich textures, and the storied legacy of preppy sophistication. Rendered in variegated shades of scarlet red, ruby red, brick red, blue, orange, persimmon, pumpkin, burgundy, navy blue, ivory, black, green, royal blue, black and teal. This vintage flat-weave Kilim rug is backed with a cotton fabric as reinforcement. Flat-weave plaid Kilim rug. Several plaid kilim panels stitched together. Abrash. Hand-woven wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 11'02 x 11'11. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
