A Vintage Kars Runner with Earthy Tones and Tribal Artistry
This exceptional vintage runner rug was handwoven approximately 60 years ago by skilled artisans in the Kars region of eastern Turkey, an area celebrated for its expressive tribal designs and rich wool craftsmanship. Entirely handmade, this rug reflects generations of weaving tradition while remaining beautifully suited for contemporary living.
Design & Color Story
The runner features traditional tribal motifs arranged in an intricate, rhythmic composition that feels both bold and balanced. Its earthy palette—layered browns, warm beige, and subtle green tones—creates a grounded, organic presence that adds warmth without overwhelming a space.
The elongated format makes this rug ideal for hallways, kitchens, entryways, or alongside a bed, where its strong design and nuanced color story can truly stand out.
