A Vintage Kars Runner with Bold Geometry and Tribal Character
This striking vintage Kars runner rug was handwoven approximately 60 years ago in eastern Turkey, a region known for its bold tribal designs and rich weaving traditions. Crafted using wool-on-wool construction and natural vegetable dyes, this rug offers durability, texture, and timeless appeal.
Design & Color Story
The runner features large-scale geometric medallions combined with traditional tribal motifs, creating a rhythmic and visually engaging composition ideal for long, narrow spaces. The warm beige and brown foundation is enlivened by dark pink accents, adding depth and contrast while maintaining a grounded, earthy palette.
Its elongated format makes it a perfect choice for entryways, kitchens, hallways, or alongside a bed—anywhere a statement runner can anchor the space while adding warmth and movement.
