Antique Ghordes Rug - 18th Century Anatolian Ghordes Rug

About the Item

18th Century Anatolian Ghordes Rug Size 118 x 165 cm (3,87 x 5,41 ft) With ‘floating’ columns and an enlarged ‘mosque lamp’ motif dominating the red field of the mihrab, this so-called ‘Basra Ghiordes ‘ prayer rug belongs to a subgroup of 18th century red-ground west Anatolian Ghiordes and Kula single niche rugs that preserve many of the characteristics of their 17th century ‘Transylvanian’ precursors. Among several examples published by Stefano Ionescu in ‘Antique Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania’, 2005, Cat. 216-220, it most closely resembles Cat. 216, an early 18th century rug formerly in the Evangelical Parish Church and now in the Brukenthal Museum, Sibiu, Romania (M.1625), with which it shares the rosette, palmette and leaf bracket primary border as well as the highly stylized jagged ascending plant design in the blue-ground spandrels and floral panel above. Interestingly, when inverted (as it would have been woven), the hanging ornament morphs into a well-drawn ibrik (ewer) motif.

  • Antique Ushak Rug - Early 18th Century Anatolian Ushak Rug, Antique Carpet
    Located in Sultanahmet, 34
    Early 18th Century Anatolian Ushak Rug Size 142 x 220 cm (4,65 x 7,21 ft) By the 16th century the principal manufacture of large commercial carpets in Ottoman Turkey had been established at Uşak, which produced rugs for palace and mosque use and for export. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, this manufacture came increasingly under European control. By the close of the 19th century the carpets had become coarser and rougher, with designs calculated to please European tastes. The quality had probably never been as fine as that of the court carpets, made nearer to the capital cities. The best-known pattern among the older carpets is a scheme of large, rounded medallions of two types, alternating upon a field of brick red or, occasionally, of dark blue. A second common pattern shows diagonal rows of eight-pointed star medallions alternating with diamonds. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a number of carpets with prayer-niche motifs in rows were made for mosque worship. Holbein rugs...
