Tribal designs from the nomadic peoples of Asia Minor. Incredibly well rendered with motifs deeply rooted in traditional village and nomadic weaving including primitive animal and human figures as well as richly-woven flowers. And you will find tribal totems and designs so ancient as to have their meanings forgotten even by those who drew the wool through their looms.

World’s Fair Original Karastan at Macy’s Chicago

“The rug has been stored at the mill in North Carolina until now. Visitors to the display will see the rug that has come to be a part of Karastan history and an enduring testament to the lasting beauty and quality construction of Karastan rugs.” – Karastan

Macy’s Chicago recently featured the most famous Karastan carpet to ever exist this October 2010: The ’33-’34 Chicago World’s Fair Ivory Karastan 791 Kirman tree-of-life design.

1933 Chicago World's Fair Karastan Kirman 791 n Ivory, 12'x15'

As a revolutionary testament to longevity and outstanding craftsmanship and durability, the rug was subjected to the footpath of over 5 million World’s Fair visitor more than 75 years ago. Soon after the heavily trafficked Original had over 10,000,000 feet tread atop its wool pile, half of it was washed, exposing the ever bright and lustrous colors. Karastan states: “One side remained almost unrecognizable, while the washed portion returned the rug to its original beauty of 33 skein-dyed colors.”

Durability, fine dyes and quality New Zealand wool pile to this day serve as historic proof that the inception of Karastan’s Machine Made power-loomed carpets were, and are, here to stay.
