11011 · 5'1" x 8'5" Turkish Kars Area Rug

A bold cream and gray medallion fills the center of this remarkable rug. The burgundy field holds four branching trees, two above the medallion and two below, and a row of small stars at each end. Wide cream arms flank the medallion, worked with brown, gray and burgundy hooks. Its brown center holds an olive square, a gray eight-pointed star and a burgundy core. Handsome gray pendants above and below carry key patterns. An olive guard stripe dotted with cream runs around the field. The border pairs a cream band of running brown hooks with a burgundy band of pretty rosettes. Brown and gray hooked triangles close the outer edge. The pile is low over the whole rug, and the burgundy keeps its depth. It settles a room in deep burgundy and brown, while the cream arms lift the center. At 5'1" by 8'5", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
