From across a room the field reads gray beige, filled with fine vines, palmettes and small flower heads. The handsome medallion is lobed and steel blue, with a dusty rose diamond and a burgundy flower at its core. A small pendant sits above it and another below. Beyond the scalloped edge of the field, steel blue and cream fill the corners, each holding a small burgundy cross. The beautiful main border is cream, carrying dark rosettes and dusty rose diamonds along a trail of vines. Several narrow guard stripes of leaves and blossoms frame it on both sides, picked out in steel blue. The pile is low overall, and a few pale patches along the outer border have worn lower. The dense drawing suits a calm dining room, the steel blue and dusty rose cool against the pale ground. At 9'6\" by 12'6\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\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 lobed steel blue medallion with a dusty rose diamond at its core, on a gray beige field filled with fine vines, palmettes and small flower heads. Steel blue and cream fill the corners beyond the scalloped edge of the field. The cream border sets dark rosettes and dusty rose diamonds along a trail of vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
