About the Item
53715 Vintage Earth-Tone Turkish Kars Rug, 05'06 x 11'00. A true masterpiece of Anatolian heritage, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Kars rug is a rare expression of timeless artistry and bespoke elegance. Woven in the high plateaus of northeastern Turkey, where weaving is not merely a craft but a generational devotion, this earth-tone treasure exudes the quiet prestige of a lost world reborn. Its muted hues—almond, sand, and faded taupe—carry the soft resonance of time and tradition, forming a canvas of expression that speaks to connoisseurs of refined beauty and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Three monumental medallions anchor the composition, their bold symmetry and softened forms a study in sophisticated restraint. Each signature medallion pulses with ancient symbolism—protective emblems and star-like motifs that once graced tribal tents and noble homes alike. Framed by an intricate leaf and calyx (wine glass) border of stylized glyphs, the rug's geometry is meticulously rendered, a testimony to the attention to detail and high precision passed down through generations of Turkish artisans. It is framed with a flanked with an inner and outer crenelated fence protection guard border.These symbolic forms are more than decoration; they are a heritage language, quietly asserting strength, unity, and the enduring soul of the nomadic spirit.
This exquisite work of art embodies more than aesthetic value—it is a coveted heirloom, an investment in culture and craft. In an era where fast fashion overwhelms, this precious piece stands as a tailor-made tribute to eco-design and social good, preserving artisan traditions while offering exclusive appeal. Each abrash, each tonal shift across its sumptuous wool pile, is a fingerprint of authenticity—a mark of time's passage and the maker's hand. It is this irreplaceable narrative that gives the rug its elusive charm, one that cannot be replicated, only acquired by those with a discerning eye and a reverence for legacy.
Whether gracing a private residence in the Alps, a curated gallery in New York, or a minimalist penthouse in Tokyo, this vintage Kars rug delivers refined exclusivity with a story woven deep into its fibers. It is not just decor—it is a precious artifact, a luxury statement rooted in symbolic value, beauty, and purpose. To own it is to embrace a piece of cultural eternity, to become a steward of one of the world’s most exceptional artistic traditions.
Rendered in variegated shades of brown, tan, camel, sand, latte, mocha and taupe with other neutral colors.
