"(Caesarea, Kaisareh). Between about 1299 and 1419 under Mamluk occupation. Now a city with about 300,000 inhabitants. Well known for its silk carpets in the Persian style and also examples in floss silk and mercerised cotton. Quite finely knotted but not so fine as Kum Kapi or Hereke rugs." - from Oriental Rugs Volume 4 - Turkish by K.Zipper & C.Fritzsche
