Antique Turkish Silk Kayseri Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1920 – A masterful display of details and composition, this antique Turkish silk Kayseri rug is designed to convey soothing emotions. The elements in the piece seem to come to life, almost as if they belong in a fable. The faded beige, cream, emerald and turquoise forms come together effortlessly, each establishing a small amount of contrast to draw the viewer’s attention to the scene itself. A winding path over a lush meadow leads deep into the forest in the piece’s background. The white trees stand in front of rich, tall mountains, which almost glow as they are bathed in the warmth of the sun above them.
