11119 · 7'9" x 10'6" Turkish Kayseri Oversized Rug

The stepped navy medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. The deep red field around it is left mostly open, with small flower sprays reaching in from the corners. At the center sits that navy medallion, full of graceful scrolling vines around a lobed cream core of small flowers, with a flowering pendant above and below. Beautiful cream spandrels fill the four corners, worked with vine scrolls, leaves and small rosettes. The main border mixes navy and burgundy and carries a row of cream rosettes and leafy flower heads. Pale blue guard stripes run on either side of it, each set with a small repeating flower. The pile is low across the field, and the foundation shows through in pale flecks. It grounds a sitting area in warm red, while the cream corners and navy center keep the open field from feeling heavy. At 7'9" by 10'6", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
