A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

Kayseri (Latin Caesarea, named in honour of the Roman emperor Tiberius) is the capital of the province of the same name, Kayseri, in Cappadocia in Turkey. Kayseri rugs (also Kaiseri rugs) are usually made of pure silk. They are highly valuable and decorative. Kayseri rugs are typically knotted in smaller sizes and used as wall hangings or prayer rugs.

Material

The silk in the pile of this Kayseri in pure silk makes the colours of the pattern shine in ever-changing facets, depending on how the light falls. It turns this Kayseri in pure silk into a real highlight and creates an atmosphere in the room that is cosy and at the same time thoroughly elegant and refined. Silk is obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silkworm. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be produced that are light yet still strong. Fine yarn allows smaller rug knots to be tied and so finer patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk.

With this Kayseri in pure silk, even the foundation is made of pure silk. Thanks to the thin yet hard-wearing material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting and therefore a particularly fine pattern is possible.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Kayseri in pure silk. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 31. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. As a result it is – despite its age – in very good condition.
