11138 · 6'8" x 9'3" Turkish Kayseri Area Rug

Fine brown vines and leaves cover this lovely rug in a closely worked pattern. Across a beige field, the vines curl between camel leaves, dotted with tiny sprigs in blue. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, its small flower clusters set in rows. The handsome main border has a camel ground, carrying a graceful scroll of vine and small blue blossoms. A wide cream outer band follows, its scalloped edge holding brown flower heads and curling leaves. Inside the main border, a guard stripe of blue rosettes runs between a sawtooth line and narrow stripes. The pile is low across the whole rug. It suits a calm room, where the beige and brown sit easily together and the blue rosettes give a cool note. At 6'8" by 9'3", 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.
