Soft sprays of blue and khaki flowers drift across this lovely rug from end to end. The beige field carries an all-over repeat of small blossoms, curling vines and leaves, with no medallion. Thin bands of tiny blue dots frame the field, and short dark stripes cross it near each end. The border repeats graceful scrolling vines in khaki and slate blue, with touches of pale rose. The pile is low across the whole rug, and every color reads soft and pale. It settles into a quiet room, where its beige and soft blue sit easily with pale wood and linen. At 6'8" by 9'4", 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.
About Kayseri rugs
Marco 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. Its pattern runs as one even repeat, so the field reads as a single soft surface from across the room. Slate blue and khaki give the small flowers their outline, and the dark stripes near the ends are the strongest marks on the rug. The dotted bands and the scrolling border keep the frame as light as the field.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
