Kayseri prayer kilims are flatwoven wool textiles from central Anatolia characterised by a central niche or mihrab motif symbolising a prayer arch, framed by elaborate geometric and tribal borders.

Traditional kilims are hand-woven using hand-spun wool yarns on a loom, employing a slit-weave tapestry technique that produces sharp, flat geometric patterns without a raised pile.

Authentic Anatolian pieces display hand-spun wool variations, subtle natural dye Abrash tonal shifts, slight handloom irregularities, and distinctive slit-weave gaps at colour boundaries.

Flatweave kilims function well as vibrant accent floor coverings, layered over plain neutral carpet, or hung on a wall using a concealed batten as decorative textile art.

Maintenance requires suction-only vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, immediate blot-cleaning of spills with cool water, and professional dry cleaning by a specialist textile restorer.
