Description:
Kayseri, formerly called Caesarea, is a rug
production hub in central Turkey (Anatolia). Central Anatolia is generally
known to be one of core areas of carpet manufacturing in this country. Apart
from Kayseri, other weaving regions in this part of Anatolia are Konya, Niğde
and Sivas – all of them differ as far as the designs and traditions are
concerned.
Kayseri rugs –produced for export for the most
part – are widely recognized for their fine weaving. Made of wool with cotton
foundation, Kayseri carpet often imitates the patterns that can be seen on rugs
from nearby towns, like Hereke, Kum-Kapı. Ürgüp, Avanos and İncesu.
Silk Turkish Rugs. Silk or artificial silk
rugs are also quite common. Characterized by their dense weaving, rugs from
Avanos have religious designs on them. The bright red field of such carpet is
decorated with mosca (protective amulet) and have golden yellow borders.
Ingenious ornamental patterns adorn the whole carpet, so that it draws one's
attention immediately.
Ürgüp rugs, on the other hand, can be easily
recognized by their colors. The prevalent ones are: brown gold, bright orange
and yellow. The 'Ürgüp red' field is bedecked with medallions, palmettes and
various floral motifs. Silk rugs from Antique Turkish Sivas RugHereke with
their refined designs of trees and birds in pale pastel palette of colors are
considered very unique.
