Located at the heart of central Turkey, Kayseri has long held a distinguished place in the Anatolian weaving tradition. Rugs from this region are particularly valued for their technical finesse and rich design vocabulary, frequently featuring floral medallion patterns and carefully articulated borders. Unlike other Turkish weaving centres, Kayseri workshop production often incorporates a sophisticated blend of wool and silk, resulting in an elegant surface texture and a nuanced palette. This combination is especially evident in Kayseri silk rugs, which display exceptional clarity of detail alongside a subtle sheen.
Many vintage Kayseri rugs also reflect a dialogue between local heritage and Ottoman-inspired rug designs, with motifs such as delicate arabesques, stylised foliage, and refined geometric repeats. The region’s focus on central medallions and symmetrical layouts highlights the skilled hand-knotting methods characteristic of handmade Kayseri carpets. While the use of silk delivers a lightweight and lustrous finish, Kayseri wool rugs are equally appreciated for their warmth and durability, offering practical appeal alongside visual interest.
For UK-based interiors, the versatility of Kayseri rugs makes them suitable for a variety of settings - from classic living spaces seeking a touch of Anatolian artistry, to modern rooms where subtlety and historical context are prioritised. The collection as a whole demonstrates how regional craftsmanship can be thoughtfully integrated into contemporary lifestyles, without compromising on provenance or detail.
