Rug - 226 cm - 89 cm - Kayseri runner

Elegant antique Kayseri prayer runner with a striking multi-mihrab design, hand-knotted in Central Anatolia in the early 20th century.

The design is executed in a harmonious palette of soft beige, cream, brown, muted blue, and warm earth tones, beautifully mellowed by age. Finely detailed borders with floral and geometric motifs frame the central field, reflecting the precise workmanship and balanced aesthetics for which Kayseri rugs are well known. Material: Wool pile on cotton foundation Technique: Hand-knotted, Turkish (Ghiordes) knot Condition: Overall in good condition with visible traces of ageing and usage, including even pile wear and softened colours consistent with age. The rug remains structurally sound; fringes show age-related wear.
