A Vintage Kars Runner with Tribal Geometry and Soft Contrast
This beautifully crafted vintage runner rug was handwoven approximately 60 years ago in the Kars region of eastern Turkey, an area known for its bold tribal compositions and durable wool construction. Woven using wool-on-wool techniques and natural vegetable dyes, this runner offers both resilience and a richly textured feel underfoot.
Design & Color Story
The design features large-scale geometric medallions paired with traditional tribal motifs, creating a strong visual rhythm ideal for long, narrow interiors. The palette of warm beige and brown is softened by delicate pink tones and ivory accents, adding depth without overpowering the space.
Its elongated proportions make it a natural fit for entryways, kitchens, hallways, or alongside a bed, where it adds movement, structure, and a sense of history.
