RARE PRISTINE VINTAGE KARS TURKISH AREA RUG (1960s)
This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a hand-knotted Turkish Kars rug woven in the 1960s in the Kars region of northeastern Turkey. This piece is a true collector's find because of its PRISTINE, UNUSED CONDITION. Despite being approximately 60 years old, this rug is New-Old Stock (NOS)—it has never been placed or walked on, meaning it shows zero wear.
Ideal Area Rug Dimensions:
The size of 6 ft 2 in x 8 ft 4 in (188 cm x 254 cm) is the perfect, versatile Area Rug size. It is large enough to anchor a living room seating area, a dining room, or a sizable bedroom, offering great impact without overwhelming a room.
Authentic Craftsmanship & Superior Materials:
100% Natural Wool: This rug features wool-on-wool construction, a hallmark of durable, traditional weaving. It utilizes the finest natural sheep's wool for the pile, resulting in a distinctively soft and luxurious texture underfoot.
Classic Kars-Caucasian Design: The design is rich with classic Kars-Caucasian geometric patterns. These bold, tribal motifs, centered by a striking medallion, are timeless and perfectly complement both modern and traditional interiors.
Investment-Grade Condition: The rug is in excellent, collector-level condition. It has been professionally washed and cleaned and is ready to be immediately placed in your home. This is a rare chance to purchase a virtually new vintage rug with impressive history.
