Ararat Rugs Dragon Rug, Antique Caucasus Museum Revival Carpet, Natural Dyed
About the Item
The source of the rug comes from the book Caucasian Carpets, E. Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.37. This luxurious and varied work is known as the Cassirer dragon rug' from the name of its previous owner. It is examined in great detail in May U. Beattie's The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection of Oriental Rugs. The carpet is divided into compartments by a fanciful lattice enclosing elongated or squat lozenges that are linked by palmettes, rosettes, and floral arrangements. The dragons can be distinguished to the right and left of the central row of lozenges, bedecked in blue, ivory, and red. Some appear also on the blue-black bands that define the lozenges. Flowers too are much in evidence; on stems of exquisite delicacy, they surround the dragons or are inscribed within their scrolls. The deeply notched border is highly original; it is a type rarely repeated by the weavers of succeeding centuries. From a light blue hexagonal flower, set on the ivory path of the main border, two stems escape bearing other flowers in red, black, and yellow. Two yellow guard bands flank the border; each contains a zigzag pattern undulating between red flower buds. The design of this rug is interpreted and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.

We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.

We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us.

- Ararat Rugs Dragon Rug, Antique Caucasus Museum Revival Carpet, Natural DyedBy Ararat RugsLocated in Tokyo, JPThere has long been a fascination with the symbolism of the dragon and its depiction in carpet weavings. The design of ‘Dragon’ carpets consists of a field pattern composed of different colored overlaid lattices formed of pointed, serrated leaves creating intersecting lozenges, which alternately contain palmettes and are flanked by confronting stylized dragons, birds, or animal figures. The most archaic of the ‘Dragon’ carpets include dragon motifs with birds and running animals relatively naturalistically drawn, which stand either alone or in confronting pairs facing a tree. The Graf carpet, originally found in a Damascene mosque, now in the Islamiches Museum, Berlin, is considered to be the oldest example of this type, see Serare Yetkin, Early Caucasian Carpets in Turkey, Vol. II, London, 1978, p.8, fig.118. Yetkin defines four types of ‘Dragon’ carpet: ‘Archaic’, ‘Four-Dragon’, ‘Dragon-and-Phoenix’ and as a further combined development of the latter, the ‘Two-Dragon’ style, of which the present carpet falls into the ‘Dragon-and-Phoenix group along with other examples, some of which include two fragments, one in the Museum fur Kunst und Gerwerbe, Hamburg; another in the Christian Museum, Esztergom, Hungary, a complete carpet in the Kier collection; an incomplete example in the Textile Museum, Washington, D.C; the ‘Cassirer’ Dragon carpet in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, Lugano; the Ali Pasa Mosque carpet in Tokat, and a further example in the Vakiflar Hali Museum, Istanbul (S.
