Vintage Turkish Kars Rug Warm Earth-Tone Colors
Located in Dallas, TX
53726 Vintage Turkish Kars Rug, 06'04 x 11'06. Turkish Kars rugs, originating from Turkey, are narrow rugs tailored for hallways, entryways, or tight spaces, boasting earth-tone colors like browns, tans, beiges, and warm hues for a cozy atmosphere. These rugs often feature traditional motifs such as geometric patterns, medallions, or stylized florals. Crafted with high-quality wool and employing traditional Turkish knotting techniques, these rugs ensure longevity and may utilize natural dyes, enhancing their earthy allure. Their versatility allows them to harmonize with rustic, traditional, eclectic, or modern interiors, offering both practical protection for floors and aesthetic enhancement with warmth, texture, and visual intrigue.
With its intricate detail and rich texture, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Kars rug emanates nomadic charm, offering a captivating glimpse into the artistry of its creation. The medallion design, intricately woven into the fabric, forms the centerpiece of this rug, surrounded by an earthy color palette that exudes warmth and authenticity. Along the abrashed tan backdrop, three stack square medallions adorned with ambiguous motifs add depth and visual interest, creating a truly unique and captivating aesthetic.
Framing the central motif is a simplistic meandering botanical border, which adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the overall design. This border not only enhances the rug's visual appeal but also provides a sense of structure and balance, ensuring that the intricate details of the medallions are showcased to their full effect. Meanwhile, the weaver's signature and date, along with the natural abrash gradations that traverse the rug's surface, authenticate its vintage charm, imbuing it with a sense of history and character.
This vintage Turkish Kars rug is more than just a floor covering – it is a work of art that tells a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and cultural heritage. With its captivating design, earthy color palette, and authentic details, it serves as a timeless symbol of warmth, welcome, and informality. Whether displayed in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, this exquisite Kars carpet adds a touch of sophistication and charm to any space, transforming it into a sanctuary of style and comfort.

Antique and Vintage Turkish Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs: Shop Authentic Oushak Rugs, Bergama Carpets and Other Turkish Rugs
Antique and vintage Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century, when the Turks of the Seljuk Empire began weaving these vibrant carpets in Anatolia.
A Turkish rug is simply one made in Turkey or the former Ottoman empire, employing the region’s unique traditional methods and weaves. Varieties range from flat-woven kilims to lush knotted rugs, known as hali, many of which are created with Ghiordes, or Turkish, knots. Whereas in other knots, the weft (crosswise) yarn is wrapped around one warp (lengthwise) yarn, in Ghiordes knots, it is wrapped around two, imparting lushness and durability. In addition to knotting techniques, Turkish rugs differ in their motifs — naturalistic or stylized, geometric or figurative — which often reflect the region where they were made.
The main types of Turkish rugs, as Milan-based carpet dealer Alfredo Levi explains it, are kilim, typified by a plain slit-tapestry weave, which leaves a gap, or slit, between sections woven with different yarns in different colors; sumak, made with weft wrapping, for a sturdier flat-woven carpet; and cicim, which he describes as “a type of sumak with extra brocade techniques typical of the tribes and villages of central Anatolia.
Within each type, there are various regional styles. Among these are Bergama carpets, characterized by bright reds and strong medallions; thick-piled Tulu rugs; and Konya rugs, which Marco Polo is said to have called “the most beautiful in the world.” With their strong tribal motifs and hot-red wefts of especially luxurious wool, Konya carpets are especially prized by collectors.
Also treasured are Oushak (or Ushak) rugs, with their complex, intricate designs and warm earth tones of saffron, cinnamon, blue, ivory and gold; and Hereke carpets, originally created exclusively for Ottoman sultans, using the finest silk. For Jason Nazmiyal, of New York carpet dealer Nazmiyal Antique Rugs, “a good Turkish rug is when the colors are harmonious.” This is true of both modern and antique Turkish rugs, but the hues have changed over the centuries, thanks to both technology and changes in culture and taste.
Patterns, too, have evolved. Although many weavers continue to produce traditional designs, others reinterpret their cultural heritage in contemporary terms, with bolder ornamentation and more geometric motifs. Contemporary Turkish rugs also are seldom made by hand and often incorporate synthetics into the weave, for cost-effectiveness and a durability suited to 21st-century life.
Find antique and vintage Turkish rugs for your home on 1stDibs. At The Study, read about how to take care of your antique or vintage rug as well as how to choose the right rug for your space.
