{"product_id":"11141-4x6-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11141 - Turkish Kayseri Accent Rug 3'10\" x 5'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy star with leaf-tipped points sits at the heart of this remarkable rug. Curling vines, flower heads and leaves in cream, light blue and green fill the burgundy field around it. The star and its cream core rest on a lobed sage medallion. Large palmettes ringed in navy hang above and below it as pendants, each followed by a smaller navy rosette. Cream spandrels take the four corners, dotted with red rosettes and each holding a lobed sage and navy palmette. The handsome main border has a cream ground, set with red and sage rosettes between leafy sage vines. Guard stripes in walnut and gray brown, picked out with small cream flowers and fine navy dots, run on both sides of it. The pile is low across the whole rug, and every motif stays clear. It settles into a bedroom or an entry, where the burgundy and sage bring warmth and the cream keeps it light. At 3'10\" by 5'7\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a 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. According to the Turkish yearbook of 1927, Kayseri had 5,070 looms, weaving about 15,200 carpets a year for export. This rug is built around a navy star with leaf-tipped points, set on a lobed sage medallion over a burgundy field of curling vines. Large palmettes hang above and below as pendants, and cream spandrels take the four corners. The cream border repeats the red of the field in its rosettes, and the navy star gives the eye a firm point at the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
