A Softly Faded Kars Runner with Tribal Geometry and Warm Tones
This vintage runner rug was handwoven approximately 60 years ago in the Kars region of eastern Turkey, an area renowned for its bold tribal designs and durable wool craftsmanship. Made using wool-on-wool construction and natural vegetable dyes, this rug offers both strength and a supple, comfortable feel underfoot.
Design & Color Story
The design features large-scale geometric medallions paired with traditional tribal motifs, arranged in a rhythmic composition ideal for long and narrow spaces. Its gently faded palette blends ivory, beige, brown, and rust tones with subtle accents of pink and green, creating depth and visual interest while maintaining a calm, approachable aesthetic.
The naturally distressed finish enhances its vintage character, making it easy to integrate into both traditional and modern interiors.
