About the Item
Antique Ottoman Embroidery Rug, c. 1800
The rich and diverse weaving tradition of the Ottoman Empire is well known. Anatolian carpet weaving can be traced back over half a millennium and is arguably much older. Likewise, fine silk weaving is known from the time of the Byzantine Empire. Ottoman velvet was a luxurious commodity traded throughout the Mediterranean from as early as the 15th century. Less well-known, but equally accomplished, is the Ottoman tradition of embroidery. This remarkable piece uses silk floss and was probably embroidered in western Anatolia in the 18th century. Like related Near Eastern and Central Asian embroidered textiles, it comprises several strips (probably linen). The artist first drew the design, then each individual panel was embroidered before being assembled. Turkish embroidery such as this generally reflected models coming from the luxury and court textiles and decorative arts of contemporaneous and earlier periods. While this piece was most likely made for a local market, the flowering repeat paisley, or ‘boteh,’ pattern stems from the classical Ottoman textile design of the 17th century. These 17th-century motifs were likely inspired by Persian designs of that period. Over the centuries, embroideries of this age were often disassembled and survived only as fragments. Fortunately, this is a complete piece.

- Antique Uzbek Suzani Embroidery Rug, c. 1800Located in San Francisco, CAAntique Uzbek Suzani Embroidery, c. 1800 Blending naturalism with ethereal fantasy, this spectacular embroidery or ‘suzani‘ from Central Asia conveys an aesthetic consistent with older examples of the genre. Certain features, most notably the vine-scroll, are reminiscent of the Samarkand school, while the drawing of the blossoms seems more prevalent in the repertoire of neighboring Shahrisabz. Indeed, this piece may in fact be a common ancestor to both. Splendid palmettes with flame-like tracery and bold swirling star-centered blossoms alternate within the border. Vegetal scroll meanders throughout—drawn with several shades of green conveying, if not a sense of shadowing, definite and deliberate tonalities of light and dark. The central hourglass form, idiosyncrasies of drawing, and arrangement of blossoms in the field imbue a sense of classicism rivaling and surpassing older Ottoman and Persian models.
