Laili Vintage Turkish Rug

• A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
• Lined with a repeating set of three medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
• Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
• A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
• A symmetrical overhead view of a floral rosette
• A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
• A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders

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.

Wool 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.
