11129 · 6'7" x 9'5" Turkish Kayseri Area Rug

This lovely rug sets a fine all-over flower pattern inside a wide red frame. On a beige field, graceful scrolling vines link small plum and blue blossoms, pale leaves and tiny lozenges in a close repeat. There is no medallion, and the repeat runs over the whole field in rows of cross-shaped leaf clusters. These clusters, in dark green and navy, are the darkest notes in the field. A handsome wine red border carries large sage rosettes, blue flower sprays and curling leaves. Blue guard stripes set with small red blossoms run on either side of it, each edged by a narrow rust stripe. The pile is low across the rug, and a few patches in the field read paler. It grounds a sitting area with its beige center and wine red frame, while the blue stripes cool the red. At 6'7" by 9'5", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

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.
