Vintage Handmade Turkish Kayseri Area Rug, Decorative Medallion Design Carpet, 100% Wool

An elegant vintage Kayseri carpet woven in Central Anatolia circa 1970, distinguished by its refined drawing and exceptionally soft, luminous palette.
The composition centers around a delicately rendered floral medallion framed by an intricate network of scrolling vinery and palmettes. The design is classical yet airy, with generous negative space that allows the pattern to breathe. The field is woven in subtle shades of warm ivory and soft sand, accented with gentle tones of celadon, pale aqua, and muted walnut brown. The overall effect is calm, sophisticated, and highly versatile.
Unlike heavier traditional Kayseri examples, this piece carries a lighter, more contemporary sensibility while retaining the precision and symmetry characteristic of the region. The border system is finely articulated, framing the composition without overwhelming it.
Hand-knotted in wool on cotton foundation, the rug has a smooth, low pile and a supple handle. It sits beautifully underfoot and works equally well in formal interiors, transitional spaces, or serene modern settings. Its restrained coloration makes it particularly suitable for projects where subtle texture and quiet pattern are preferred over bold contrast.
Condition is very good for age, with even wear consistent with careful use. Professionally cleaned and ready for placement.
A refined decorative Kayseri with timeless appeal.
