Ararat Rugs Transilvanian Ushak Prayer Rug Anatolian Revival Carpet Natural Dyed

About the Item

Carpets called Siebenburgen or Transylvanian are those which have been found in the Protestant churches of Siebenburgen. Some of them carry a label on the back stating where, when and by whom the piece has been donated to the church. Siebenbürgen/Transylvania is an area between the South and the East Carpathian and West Siebenbürgen mountains in Romania. In 1541 the area came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire and became a Turkish protectorate of the principality of Transylvania. Legend has it that Suleiman ‘the magnificent’ sent his vizier with the gift of a beautiful carpet to the Black Church in Kronstadt (Brasov) as proof of his friendly disposition and respect for the Christian religion. Apparently, the patriarch was overjoyed and ordered 2,000 of the beautiful pieces as decoration for his churches. The use of carpets did not remain for long the domain of religion; soon merchants discovered a new market for the Anatolian carpet and a flourishing trade developed. The most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this rug.

    By Ararat Rugs

    This dual medallion is the main element of the design of the 18th-century carpet from the Konya region, Central Anatolia area of Turkey. Rugs of this type, using two medallions, appear frequently in 15th-century paintings of both the Venetian and the Flemish schools. This pattern tradition survived into the 18th and even into the 19th century in Anatolian village rugs of which this is an exceptionally powerful example.

Typical two medallions central octagon carpets...
