A Rare Antique Turkish Rug with Kayseri Armenian Heritage
This beautiful distressed antique rug is a rare find, woven more than a century ago in the Kayseri Armenian weaving tradition. Kayseri rugs are known for their refined detail, balanced compositions, and vibrant color stories—qualities that are beautifully expressed in this compact yet impactful piece.
Its versatile size makes it an ideal accent for entryways, bedrooms, offices, or layered interiors seeking warmth and historic depth.
Design & Aesthetic
The rug features an allover composition blending geometric structure with delicate floral motifs. The design strikes a harmonious balance—bold enough to stand out, yet intricate enough to invite closer appreciation.
