This is a gallery-sized example of vintage mid-century kilim originating from Kars, located in eastern Anatolia close to the border with the Caucasus. The kilims from this region are renowned for their sturdiness and bold patterns, which are taken from the language of their pile weavings. The design here consists of a series of six hooked polygons inscribing polychrome, eight-pointed stars, contrasting against a dark brown background. The elongated gallery format makes it ideal for either entry halls or sturdy flat-weaves under the dining tables.
