Ararat Rugs Memling Gul Kazak Rug, 19th C Caucasian Revival Carpet Natural Dyed

About the Item

The source of the rug comes from the book Tapis du Caucase – Rugs of the Caucasus, Ian Bennett & Aziz Bassoul, The Nicholas Sursock Museum, Beirut, Lebanon 2003, nr.24 and Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, nr.68 and Caucasian Carpets, E. Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.118. This is a famous, ubiquitous design of hooked polygons with crosses (called ‘Memling ( Memlinc ) gül‘) from the late 19th century, Kazak region, Caucasus area. It is often difficult to distinguish between rugs woven in the Kazak, Karabakh, Genje, and Moghan districts. Rugs with rows of stepped and hooked rectangles within octagons (the so-called “Memling gül” named after the 15th-century Flemish artist Hans Memling, in some of whose paintings such rugs are depicted) are often attributed without clear evidence to Moghan. As well as in many other Caucasian areas, pieces of this design were also woven in Anatolia, and it is generally assumed that the rugs that appear in Memling’s paintings, and those in the works of other 15th and 16th century Flemish and Italian painters, were probably Turkish rather than Caucasian. This theory, however, remains unproven. This is a medallion design with “Memling güls“. The “güls“, consisting of eight-stepped hooked octagons enclosing a rhombus bearing of large curved hooks in a cruciform arrangement, are a design typically found in rugs of the Moghan district. Our designers interpret the design of this rug and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.
