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 geometric precision 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 displays a bold tribal medallion with distinctive hook motifs, characteristic of Caucasian influence in Kars weaving. The central geometric pattern, known as "dragon motifs," traditionally symbolizes power and protection. The stepped diamond shapes (göz or eye motifs) are believed to ward off evil, while the eight-pointed stars in the corners represent the eight gates of paradise. The border's repeating geometric pattern features the "running water" design, symbolizing life and continuity in Turkish tribal symbolism.
Placement
The 5'7" x 8'10" dimensions make this rug perfect for intimate living spaces, home offices, or as a distinctive accent piece in larger rooms. The rich palette of burgundy and forest green creates a warm, inviting atmosphere while providing dramatic visual impact.
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 durable construction and bold geometric patterns. These pieces are crafted to withstand generations of use while maintaining their distinctive character and cultural significance.
