Curator's Notes
- A series of repeating medallions create a beautifully complex field or pattern
- Typically associated with the Yoruk nomads of Anatolia, these latch-hook ornaments are believed to protect against sources of danger—including ill will, wild animals, and natural disasters
- A bold set of ram’s horns represents strength and bravery
- A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
- An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- 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.
