About the Item
Rollakan rugs, also spelled "röllakan" or "rölakan," are a type of traditional Swedish flat-woven rug. The name "rollakan" comes from the Swedish words "rulla" (to roll) and "lakan" (sheet). These rugs are characterized by their flat, reversible weave and often feature geometric patterns or pictorial designs. Rollakan rugs are created using a tapestry weaving technique, where the weft threads are tightly woven into the warp threads to create the desired pattern. They are known for their versatility and durability. The designs on rollakan rugs can vary widely, ranging from simple geometric shapes to intricate motifs inspired by nature, folklore, or traditional Swedish art. Historically, rollakan rugs were woven by rural communities in Sweden and were used as floor coverings, bed covers, or wall hangings. Today, they continue to be appreciated for their beauty and craftsmanship and are often sought after as collectible items or used to enhance the décor of modern interiors. Rollakan rugs are typically made using natural materials such as wool or linen, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly option. They are also known for their vibrant colors, often achieved through the use of natural dyes Overall, rollakan rugs represent a significant part of Sweden's weaving heritage and are cherished for their unique designs and craftsmanship.Eliko Rugs by David Ariel features a Rollakan Rug with An ivory border of interlocking, stepped octagons frames the beveled rectangular greyish field divided into five parts.

Eliko Rugs By David Ariel Vintage Turkish Kars Rug, Brown Palette
Located in New York, NY
Vintage Turkish Kars rugs, also known as Kars carpets or Kars kilims, are a type of traditional handwoven rug originating from the city of Kars in northeastern Turkey. These rugs have a rich history dating back several centuries and are highly sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts around the world Kars rugs often feature intricate geometric or floral designs, with a balanced combination of vibrant and earthy colors. The patterns on these rugs reflect the cultural heritage and influences from various civilizations that have passed through the region over the centuries. You may find a wide range of motifs, including medallions, hexagons, stars, and stylized floral patterns. Kars rugs are typically made from high-quality wool, which is sourced from the local sheep in the Anatolian region. The wool is known for its durability and natural sheen, giving the rugs a lustrous appearance. These rugs are handwoven using a traditional Turkish knotting technique, resulting in a dense and durable pile that can withstand heavy foot traffic and last for generations. The color palette of Kars rugs is diverse, but they often feature rich reds, deep blues, warm oranges, and muted earth tones like beige and brown. These colors are derived from natural dyes made from plants and minerals, adding to the rugs' authenticity and charm. As vintage suggests, Kars rugs are not modern reproductions but rather rugs made decades ago. They are prized for their authenticity and unique character, as the aging process imparts a beautiful patina to the colors and materials. Kars rugs carry cultural significance as they reflect the artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage of the Anatolian region. They are a testament to the skill and creativity of the Turkish weavers, who have passed down their expertise through generations. Kars rugs have versatile applications in home décor. They are often used as decorative floor coverings, adding warmth and character to living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. Additionally, they make excellent wall hangings and tapestries, showcasing their intricate designs as a piece of art. Vintage Turkish Kars rugs are highly collectible due to their historical value, exquisite craftsmanship, and scarcity. Their value tends to increase over time, making them a wise investment for rug collectors and enthusiasts. Eliko Rugs by David...
