This unique vintage kilim rug hails from Kars, a culturally rich region in Eastern Turkey, known for its rugged highlands, deep-rooted folk traditions, and ancient weaving practices. Situated near Bayburt and bordering the Caucasus, Kars has long been a crossroads of civilizations—home to a vibrant blend of Turkic, Kurdish, Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Georgian influences. This multiethnic heritage is beautifully reflected in the diverse motifs and vibrant color harmony found in local kilims.
Woven entirely from 100% wool in both the weft and warp, this 86 cm x 123 cm (2’9” x 4’0”) kilim represents a fading tradition of nomadic textile artistry. Aged approximately 70 years, it features a bold geometric layout and rich color palette of Vivid Tangerine, Razzmatazz, Timberwolf, Mahogany, and Olive Green—each hue telling a symbolic story of protection, fertility, and nature’s rhythm.
Handwoven by Anatolian women, kilims from this region are not just utilitarian but deeply spiritual and personal, often created as dowry pieces or tribal identity symbols. Lightweight at 2 kg, this rare piece is perfect for collectors seeking authenticity and cultural depth in every thread.
Only one in the world.
