Antique Turkish Sivas Rug

About the Item

The town of Sivas in central Turkey is the easternmost carpet producing town in that country. The rugs woven here often have patterns that are based on those found in traditional rugs and carpets from other countries. These rugs are woven with symmetrical knots on cotton foundations. This example copies a classic Mughal carpet, circa 1600, currently in the collection of The Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. Aptly titled “carpet with bird couples in a landscape”, it depicts a variety of bird species in a botanically lush and naturalistic setting. The scene has direct parallels in manuscript illustration. Detailed depictions of plants and animals appear widely in Mughal art, reflecting the Mughal Emperor’s interest in the natural world. The early Mughals employed Persian artisans, and for this reason early Mughal carpets utilize largely Persian designs. Eventually, a uniquely Mughal visual repertoire emerged in the court carpets, as well as in miniature painting and other arts. 7' 2" x 5' 0" .
