About the Item
Vintage Turkish Kars rugs, also known as Kars carpets or Kars kilims, are a type of traditional handwoven rug originating from the city of Kars in northeastern Turkey. These rugs have a rich history dating back several centuries and are highly sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts around the world Kars rugs often feature intricate geometric or floral designs, with a balanced combination of vibrant and earthy colors. The patterns on these rugs reflect the cultural heritage and influences from various civilizations that have passed through the region over the centuries. You may find a wide range of motifs, including medallions, hexagons, stars, and stylized floral patterns. Kars rugs are typically made from high-quality wool, which is sourced from the local sheep in the Anatolian region. The wool is known for its durability and natural sheen, giving the rugs a lustrous appearance. These rugs are handwoven using a traditional Turkish knotting technique, resulting in a dense and durable pile that can withstand heavy foot traffic and last for generations. The color palette of Kars rugs is diverse, but they often feature rich reds, deep blues, warm oranges, and muted earth tones like beige and brown. These colors are derived from natural dyes made from plants and minerals, adding to the rugs' authenticity and charm. As vintage suggests, Kars rugs are not modern reproductions but rather rugs made decades ago. They are prized for their authenticity and unique character, as the aging process imparts a beautiful patina to the colors and materials. Kars rugs carry cultural significance as they reflect the artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage of the Anatolian region. They are a testament to the skill and creativity of the Turkish weavers, who have passed down their expertise through generations. Kars rugs have versatile applications in home décor. They are often used as decorative floor coverings, adding warmth and character to living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. Additionally, they make excellent wall hangings and tapestries, showcasing their intricate designs as a piece of art. Vintage Turkish Kars rugs are highly collectible due to their historical value, exquisite craftsmanship, and scarcity. Their value tends to increase over time, making them a wise investment for rug collectors and enthusiasts. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel features a Kars piece with a brown field and an offset lattice of reserves defined by doubly-hooked bars, with a subdued star in each panel. The narrow dark red border shows quatrefoil rosettes. The pattern is well-balanced and unusual, probably textile-derived. Good condition.
