About the Item
54037 New Turkish Kars Rug, 10'08 x 13'10. This hand knotted modern Turkish Kars rug is rooted in the ancient visual language of northeastern Anatolia, where weaving functioned as a declaration of identity, protection, and rank. Kars designs are historically admired for their assertive geometry and symbolic clarity, often reserved for interiors that valued strength and lineage over ornament alone. This exquisite work of art continues that tradition, offering a commanding presence shaped by heritage and refined for contemporary collectors.
The exceptional field is organized around a vertical sequence of bold, shield-like medallions, stacked with deliberate spacing that emphasizes symmetry and authority. Each medallion is articulated with stepped contours and inner emblems, creating a sense of depth and ritual significance. Surrounding these central forms are directional motifs—arrowheads, hooked devices, and abstract guardians—arranged to suggest movement, protection, and ancestral continuity rather than decorative excess.
Encasing the exclusive composition, a substantial border unfolds with a disciplined procession of geometric rosettes and emblematic forms, each rendered with clarity and intention. These iconic motifs echo prehistoric Anatolian symbols associated with fertility, defense, and communal order. An outer meander guard frames the rug with architectural finality, reinforcing the sense that the design is enclosed, protected, and complete.
What elevates this Kars rug is its unapologetic confidence of pattern. It does not soften its message—it asserts it. Designed for collectors who value narrative weight and cultural literacy, this extraordinary masterpiece anchors a space with authority and depth. More than a furnishing, it becomes a statement of discernment: a modern heirloom that carries the gravitas of tradition and the prestige of purposeful design.
