ANTIQUE SUPER FINE KAYSERI SECCADE

Discover the deep-rooted heritage of Kayseri carpet weaving, originating in Turkiye's city of Kayseri. For centuries, this city has been celebrated for its expert rug making, leading to intricate and lavish designs. This garden-inspired rug pattern represents tranquility and the natural world. Over the years, various civilizations, including the Hittites, Phrygians, Romans, Ottomans, and Armenians, have played a significant role in shaping the distinct Kayseri rug style.

Our pieces are hand-woven or hand-knotted using handspun wool & natural/vegetable dyes. These dyes are set using natural processes such as pine saps instead of animal urine to reduce allergy risks, making them safe for pets. Rugs over 100 years old are classified as antiques, while those between 20 and 100 years old are considered vintage. Although some vintage rugs may have been over-dyed, they are still highly sought after for their decorative appeal. Originally created for specific purposes such as dowries, gifts, and home decoration, these rugs come in non-standard sizes and colors, adding to their rarity and uniqueness. Sadly, the art of weaving in regions from greater Mesopotamia to Central Asia is disappearing as rural traditions are overtaken by urban opportunities, making these items even more rare. Each rug is thoroughly examined for any damages and restored as needed, including the fringes. With all these features, our collection offers one-of-a-kind selection.
