{"product_id":"11132-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11132 - Turkish Kayseri Area Rug 6'7\" x 9'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA close repeat of curling paisley leaves gives this lovely rug its quiet richness. Within a beige field, rows of dark brown boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, sit inside graceful curling sage vines that link into a lattice of arches. Small sprays and leaves fill every gap between them. There is no medallion: the same unit repeats across the whole field, row after row. The handsome main border has a gray brown ground set with beige palmettes and curling dark brown leaves. Narrow guard stripes on both sides carry small blue rosettes, flowers seen from above, between thin dark lines. The pile is low, and a few pale specks show in the field. It slips into a calm room, where the beige and sage keep all that dark brown detail light. At 6'7\" by 9'6\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarco Polo listed Casaria, the ancient Caesarea of Cappadocia at the foot of Mount Argaeus, among the chief cities of a land known for the finest carpets. Ottoman archive papers show that Kayseri once set up a commission and wrote rules to protect the quality of its carpets. This rug is one repeat with no medallion, rows of dark brown boteh set inside curling sage vines that link into arches. Small sprays and leaves fill every gap, worked in beige, dark brown and sage. The gray brown border carries beige palmettes and curling leaves, and its guard stripes add small blue rosettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 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 \u0026amp; cleaned.
