- Lined with a repeating set of four medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
- An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
- A bold set of ram’s horns represents strength and bravery

Kars, found in the easternmost part of Turkey (near the Caucasus border), is known for its rugs woven with modified Caucasian designs. Almost always constructed with an all-wool foundation, these rugs are coarsely woven in either earth-toned natural wool colors (like cream, gray, and brown) or pastel pinks and blues.
Material DetailsWool is the most widely used fiber in Turkish rug design. Not only is it plentiful in supply, it’s durable, long-lasting, and incredibly plush—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on.
