Vintage Kurdish Kars Rug, Mid-Century Modern Meets Tribal Enchantment

About the Item

50379 Earth-Tone Vintage Turkish Kars Rug, 07'06 X 11'10. ​In the heartland of northeastern Turkey, where the ancient city of Kars whispers tales of tradition and craftsmanship, skilled artisans weave magic into every thread of these exquisite Turkish rugs. Their hands, guided by the whispers of ancestors, craft masterpieces known for their unparalleled quality, intricate designs, and enduring strength. Each Turkish Kars rug bears the soul of the region, boasting bold geometric patterns and vibrant hues that dance in homage to a rich cultural heritage. Now, imagine the dance of Mid-Century Modern design with tribal enchantment upon a canvas of hand-knotted wool, spun by the nomadic spirits of Kurdish tradition. Behold a vintage Kurdish Kars rug, a fusion of eras and cultures, where the clean lines of Mid-Century simplicity entwine with the beguiling world of tribal allure. Picture a canvas of light brown, adorned with columns of stepped hexagons, each a portal to a realm of ancient symbolism. Within, stylized florals bloom, tulips reaching towards the heavens from lobed centers, their essence echoing the whispers of nature. Two small ashik guls, like 'knuckle bones' tossed by playful spirits, dance amidst the open field, their presence echoed in the border. The nature-inspired color palette, reminiscent of the earth's embrace, soothes the soul and beckons the weary traveler to rest. It's earth-tone colors inspired by the hues of dawn and dusk, of fertile soil and golden harvests, weaving a tale of serenity and connection to the land. In this woven wonder, Biophilic Design finds its voice, echoing the harmony between nature and humanity. Nomadic charm weaves through its fibers, inviting exploration and storytelling. With every step upon its surface, one embarks on a journey through time and space, where the past and present intertwine in a dance of wonder and awe. Rendered in variegated shades of camel, brown, beige, ecru, tan, sand, coffee, sienna, burnt umber, and pale celadon with other neutral colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Kars Kurdish Region (Turkey). Measures: 07'06 x 11'10. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century.
