Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Kars region, situated at the crossroads of Turkish and Caucasian weaving traditions, is known for its distinctive tribal rugs. These pieces combine the bold geometric patterns of Caucasian designs with the rich symbolism of Turkish tribal artistry, creating rugs that are both visually striking and culturally significant.
Design Elements
The design features three distinctive medallions arranged vertically, a characteristic pattern of Kars tribal weaving. The geometric medallions with their angular edges symbolize protection in Turkish tribal tradition. The border showcases a delicate vine and flower pattern, representing the cycle of life and growth. Small geometric motifs scattered throughout the field are tribal talismans for good fortune, while the natural aging has enhanced the subtle interplay between the earth tones and gentle pink accents.
Placement
The 5'6" x 10'8" dimensions make this rug perfect for long living spaces, hallways, or as an elegant foundation in a gallery. The warm palette of beige and dark brown, accented with rose pink, creates a versatile backdrop that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Kars rugs are celebrated for their distinctive tribal patterns and durable construction. These pieces combine bold geometric designs with exceptional craftsmanship, creating enduring works of art that enhance spaces for generations.
