This richly patterned vintage kilim from the Kars region is a stunning example of Eastern Anatolian tribal weaving, featuring two bold diamond-shaped medallions aligned along a central axis. Each medallion is intricately filled with geometric motifs in vibrant tones of red, green, orange, and ivory, symbolizing protection, fertility, and harmony.

The background transitions from a warm terracotta center to earthy tan and brown tones toward the edges, creating a natural gradient that enhances the visual depth. Flanked by zigzag bands and framed with a border of repeating tribal motifs, this kilim reflects both symmetry and storytelling—hallmarks of nomadic design.

Handwoven in the mid-20th century using wool on wool, it has been professionally cleaned and preserved in excellent vintage condition. Ideal as a floor piece, wall tapestry, or gallery textile, it brings warmth, heritage, and bold character to any space.
