Kayseri, a major city in Central Anatolia, Turkey, is renowned for its production of silk rugs. These rugs often feature intricate designs inspired by historical motifs, such as medallions, cypress trees, and Persian Safavid influences.
The Kayseri Rugs Photo Gallery includes notable examples such as a medallion-design silk rug with animal motifs from 1960, a full silk carpet inspired by 17th-century Persian designs, and antique pieces like an 1880 silk rug measuring 145 x 149 cm. These rugs highlight the artistry and elegance associated with Kayseri weaving traditions.
