The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from the Kayseri region in Central Anatolia, these carpets are renowned for fine hand-knotting and distinctive niche or mihrab motifs reflecting traditional Islamic architecture.

Authentic 19th-century Kayseri rugs were predominantly hand-knotted using fine silk or wool on a silk or cotton foundation, creating a dense knot structure and a subtle sheen.

Authenticity is indicated by inspecting the reverse for hand-knotted irregularities, observing natural dye variations across the yarn, and evaluating the detail of traditional Anatolian motifs.

An antique Anatolian prayer rug can serve as a focal point on polished timber floors or be displayed as a textile wall hanging to introduce depth and texture.

To preserve silk fibres, place the rug away from direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotary brush, and engage a professional antique textile conservator for cleaning.
