Kayseri Silk – Anatolia

Hand-woven in pure silk, this Turkish Kayseri carries the tree-of-life design within an ogival niche — a composition made to impress. From the ruby-red field the tree stretches upward, its long branches surrounded by a dense flowering of exotic blossoms in white and green, alive with birds; at its base, a great fan of leaves opens like a blessing. The layered borders continue the theme, inhabited by birds and animals that bring the design to life. A masterpiece of Kayseri silk weaving, true to its tradition: stunning colour, vitality, and the luminous touch that only silk provides.
