About the Item

51380 Vintage Earth-Tone Turkish Kars Rug, 07'05 x 10'06. Steeped in history and exuding an air of old-world refinement, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Kars rug tells a story woven through generations. Its timeworn beauty is a testament to the skilled artisans of northeastern Turkey, who masterfully interlace tradition and artistry in every thread. The rich, striated field, marked by natural abrash, evokes a landscape painted by the elements, where tones of warm camel, golden beige, and deep teal abrash seamlessly blend, whispering of distant lands and ancient weavers' hands. Floating within this painterly backdrop, a grand medallion emerges, its intricate detailing an elegant balance of geometric precision and organic movement. At the heart of the medallion, leafy tendrils and botanical flourishes intertwine with French ribbons and large curled sickle leaves, reminiscent of the Ram’s Horn motif—a symbol of strength and resilience in Anatolian design. These delicate embellishments form a rhythmic dialogue, echoing both classical influences and the rustic charm inherent in Kars craftsmanship. Subtle hints of deep russet and faded umber add an understated grandeur, much like the faded gilding of antique manuscripts. The natural variations in tone and texture speak to the beauty of Wabi-Sabi, where imperfection and transience enhance the Kars rug’s soulful character. Encircling the central composition, a garland of scrolling acanthus leaves and floral sprigs gracefully adorns the primary border, imbuing the rug with a regal presence. The intricate arabesques unfurl with effortless elegance, while a delicate leafy tendril border on a soft tan backdrop encloses the piece with a refined finishing touch. This interplay between structured design and fluid ornamentation creates a sense of movement, as if nature itself has been captured in a woven form, forever in bloom. This vintage Turkish Kars rug is more than a decorative element—it is a living testament to Anatolian artistry, embodying a seamless blend of history, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Whether gracing a grand salon, a cozy study, or an eclectic loft, it invites an appreciation for the passage of time, the artistry of imperfection, and the enduring allure of handwoven textiles. Its harmonious palette and graceful motifs create an ambiance of warmth and quiet sophistication, effortlessly bridging past and present. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, camel, coffee, golden beige, tan, taupe, faded umber, deep russet, muted olive, and deep teal with other accent colors. Antique Wash and Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 7'05 x 10'06. Pile Height: 0.15 of an inch. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
