The Kars carpet is a geometric hand-knotted rug, its deep maroon field carrying a large octagonal medallion in ivory and slate-blue, framed by a gold border. The name recalls Kars, the eastern Anatolian city with a long-standing Caucasian-influenced tribal weaving tradition.

Where the curvilinear, floral Oushak tradition favours open fields and softened motifs, Kars draws on the older, angular strand of Anatolian weaving, shaped by centuries of contact with Caucasian tribal patterns — a large octagonal medallion, stepped diamond spandrels, and a gold border with diagonal stripe motifs. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Kars is built for generations of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this design "geometric" rather than "floral"?
Instead of curved vines and rounded florals, the pattern is built entirely from angular shapes and a large octagonal medallion — a tradition distinct from the softer, curvilinear Oushak style.
Why is it named after Kars?
Kars, in eastern Anatolia, has a long-standing tribal weaving tradition shaped by centuries of contact with Caucasian pattern-making.
What does the octagonal medallion represent?
Octagonal medallion shapes are a recurring protective and decorative motif across Anatolian and Caucasian tribal weaving.
How is hand-knotted different from hand-tufted?
Hand-knotted rugs are tied knot by knot entirely by hand onto a foundation, with no backing glue — slower to make and more durable than tufted construction.
What is the pile material?
100% New Zealand wool.
How long does a hand-knotted rug last?
With proper care, hand-knotted wool rugs are built to last for generations, not just years.
Which room suits this rug best?
Living rooms and studies — the deep maroon ground works well as a rich, grounding anchor.
How do I care for it?
Vacuum regularly on suction only, blot spills with a dry cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and get professional cleaning periodically.
