Curator's Notes
- Lined with a repeating set of five medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
- A classic, eight-pointed star stands for balance and harmony
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
- Abrash adds visual depth and texture in its variation in color and tone
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 soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on.
