Antique Turkish Kayseri Prayer Kilim

It contains many unusual elements, like the artic blue panel, that stands amidst the fiery shades of yellow and orange that permeate most of the rug. The playful motifs along the border are also fascinating, since they vary in size and colour, giving the effect of being 'hand-drawn' pictograms.

Age: Early 20th Century

Condition: Ok - small repairs

Stock No: SG-TPK024

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

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.
