Take a closer look at this Turkish Kars rug, and you’ll notice the classic Caucasian-inspired Chelaberd “Eagle” or “Sunburst” design shining through the richly hued wool. Hand-knotted on a wool foundation, it’s all crafted in northeastern Turkey near the Armenian border—a region celebrated for its bold, tribal-inspired patterns.

What immediately draws your eye is the vivid, brick-red field that frames a striking central medallion in warm golden-brown. Around it, intricate motifs in ivory, forest green, sky blue, and touches of deep navy create a layered “sunburst” effect that’s both dynamic and balanced. The broad border—set off in a deeper red with repeating geometric rosettes—adds an extra dose of detail and color variation.

Measuring approximately 4 x 7 feet, this is a wonderful size for brightening a cozy reading nook, anchoring a smaller living room, or adding character to a foyer. Because it’s woven entirely of wool, this vintage Kars piece has a plush, durable feel perfect for high-traffic areas—yet it looks so artistic you might be tempted to hang it on the wall as a tapestry.

Whether you’re drawn to its history, its classic Chelaberd “Eagle” design, or that gorgeous interplay of brick reds and golden browns, this old Anatolian carpet promises to be a standout statement piece in any space.

Please Consider

Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.

We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.

We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.

Sustainability

For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.

Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.

Spills

If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.

Professional Rug Cleaning

It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!

Rug Pads

Using a rug pad with your vintage rug may extend its life and provide extra traction and protection for your floors. To learn more about the pros and cons of rug pads, read this article.
