Vintage Anatolian Kayseri ''art silk'' rug, beautifully drawn with a repeat floral design.
Circa 1930.
''Art Silk'' is a widely accepted term for cotton that has been mercerised, this is a treatment process that strengthens the cotton and gives it the characteristics of silk; only a detailed test process can distinguish mercerised cotton from real silk. Beautiful rugs using this process have been made since the end of the 19th century. This enables you to buy a rug that looks like silk at a fraction of the price of real silk.
This rug is of good size with exceptionally dense, heavy weave. The soft pastel colours make it very easy to decorate with, a superb furnishing rug. Outstanding drawing and design with wonderful old colours, the border design is superb.
Very good condition, slight even wear and good pile, suitable for normal domestic use.
Hand washed and ready for use or display.
