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.Product Details Construction: Hand Knotted Material: Wool Colour: Red Pattern: Geometric octagonal medallion Style: Traditional, Anatolian Geometric Made in: Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India 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.
