Antique Silk Kayseri Turkish Round Rug 43807

Finely Woven Antique Silk Turkish Kayseri Round Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: Early 20th Century– Beautifully crafted, this antique Turkish Kayseri rug showcases a spectacular circular variation on the traditional hunting rug composition. Lavish vine scrolls, animated game animals, regal hunters and majestic archers create a fantastic composition that travels around the circular format and complements the pictorial central medallion, which features a distinguished hookah-smoking gentleman resting by a gentle river and a graceful date palm. Richly detailed borders adorned with Kufic motifs and graceful vine scrolls encircle the beautifully detailed composition of this fine antique rug while creating a smooth transition into the ogival appendages that extend away from the field and flatter the fluid fringes. Intricate outlines, colorful accents and luminescent metallic embellishments emphasize the elegant style of this circular antique Turkish Kayseri hunting rug.
