City Story
Kayseri rugs, originating from central Turkey, boast a rich heritage in Turkish rug craftsmanship, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and meticulous weaving techniques. Typically crafted with a cotton foundation and wool pile, these rugs derive their hues from natural root dyes. The city of Kayseri, formerly known as Masaka and later as Caesarea during the Roman era, serves as their birthplace. Among the three fundamental types of Kayseri rugs, Kayseri Silk Rugs stand out with their employment of top-quality Bursa silk for warp, weft, and pile, often adorned with metallic threads to accentuate motifs. Renowned for their exquisite designs and soft texture, these rugs often find themselves displayed as artistic wall hangings or table covers due to their formal floral motifs and small sizes. On the other hand, Kayseri Artificial Silk Rugs, blending waste silk with rayon and mercerized cotton, emulate the elegance of pure silk rugs while offering more intricate floral and geometric patterns thanks to the cotton foundation's capacity for tighter knots. Adopting designs from Persian and 19th-century Turkish rugs, they feature unique motifs like the saff, showcasing multiple mihrabs. Within Kayseri and its vicinity, Bunyan and Yahyali rugs, named after their respective districts, represent the two main types of rugs woven, further enriching the region's rug-making legacy.
