Vintage Handmade Turkish Kayseri Area Rug in Shades of Green, 100% Wool

An exceptional Kayseri carpet from the 1970s, distinguished by its refined drawing, harmonious palette, and beautifully articulated border.
The field is rendered in soft sage and celadon tones, enriched with an intricate network of stylized palmettes, floral sprays, and scrolling arabesques arranged around a finely detailed central medallion. The palette is subtle yet layered, combining muted greens, warm ivory, dusty rose, pale gold, and soft blue accents that create remarkable depth without heaviness.
Particularly striking is the border, which incorporates stylized animal and figural motifs within a rhythmic ornamental framework — a decorative feature that adds character and movement while remaining elegant and balanced.
The weave is tight and precise, characteristic of Kayseri workshop production of the period. Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, the carpet has a smooth, even pile and a supple handle.
Condition is very good for age, with even wear consistent with careful use. Professionally cleaned and ready for installation.
A fantastic decorative Kayseri carpet — refined, versatile, and increasingly sought after for its soft coloration and classical yet lively character.
