Kars

Kars, located in northeastern Anatolia close to the Caucasian border, has a long tradition of producing distinctive hand-knotted rugs. These pieces combine Anatolian and Caucasian influences, featuring geometric motifs inspired by classical Caucasian designs yet simplified and reinterpreted in their own unique way. Entirely made of high-quality wool and coarsely knotted, Kars rugs have a strong and rustic character with a robust structure that ensures durability. Their appearance often resembles the well-known Kazak rugs, though they are usually more straightforward and more primal in their design. It is precisely this raw authenticity that makes Kars rugs so appealing, bringing warmth, originality, and cultural depth into any interior. They integrate beautifully into traditional settings and at the same time create striking contrasts in contemporary spaces with minimalist architecture. At Teppichportal.ch you will find a carefully curated selection of authentic Kars rugs, available directly from stock, complemented by our professional carpet care service with free pick-up and delivery.
