About the Item

Turkish Court Manufactury Rugs were woven in the Egyptian workshops founded by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Those carpets were woven in Egypt, following the paper cartoons, which were probably created in Istanbul and sent to Cairo at that time. The source of carpet comes from the book Antique Rugs from the Near East, Wilhelm von Bode and Ernst Kühnel, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Berlin 1958, pg.76. Shortly after its conquest by the Osmanli Turks (1517), a change of style was set in Egypt which, due to the establishment of a manufactory working for the court in Istanbul, found a particularly strong expression in the carpet industry. The Cairene Ottoman carpets correspond with those of the previous period both in material and in color range, and the palette is extended only through the more plentiful use of yellow, white, and a few other tints; occasionally, however, they were inclined to be satisfied with the three Cairene basic colors. Nevertheless, if there have been doubts expressed regarding the continuity of their production, these were based entirely upon the fact that the new rugs renounced completely the decorative orientation which had been observed up to that point. Vegetation which at times is naturalistic, at times stylized in a peculiar manner, is deployed luxuriantly and, in forms that are known to us from Turkish wall tiles and brocades, quite fills the field in endless continuation, interrupted by a large or a small medallion, quadrants of which are often repeated in the corners. Carnations, tulips, hyacinths, lilies, peonies, and other flowers, together with gracefully sweeping lancet leaves, sumptuous palmettes, and delicate sprays of blossoms, constitute the rich flora of these carpets, whose borders charm the eye with their elegant solutions for the corner problem, while in the guard stripes almost invariably little rosette-flowers appear all in a row. It is merely by way of exception that we will still find appropriations levied upon the Mamluk tradition, while, on the other hand, the coming revolution in decor is already heralded in a few specimens which we still count as belonging to the earlier group. In pure folk art, such a radical overturn would be quite inconceivable, but then in the operation of a manufactory, the introduction of a completely novel program can be accomplished with a minimum of confusion. With this change of orientation, it was significant that the idea of a governing medallion, even if with a different conception, had already been put to use. The design of this carpet is interpreted, and soft colors are chosen by our designers for this carpet.

Turkish Court Manufactury Rugs were woven in the Egyptian workshops founded by Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Those carpets were woven in Egypt, following the paper cartoons probably created in Istanbul and sent to Cairo at that time. The source of carpet comes from the book Seven Hundred of Oriental Carpets, Hanna Erdmann, University of California Press, 1971 fig.165. The model of this rug comes from Berlin Museum, Inv. Nr. I 10. Ottoman Carpet, Cairo about 1540-5. Acquired in 1905 as a gift from von Dirksen. Carpets of this sort, of course, are preserved in great numbers, but the Berlin piece was the most beautiful. Mamluk details of design which have persisted in the central medallion prove that it belonged to the earliest examples of this group, which about 1540 replaced the Mamluk carpets made in Cairo up to that time. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers with four corners floral medallions, and soft colors are used for this rug. Color summary: 5 colors in total, most used 4 colors are; Natural Wool Color 320 (Specially Washed) Moss Green 27 (Spurge – Indigo) Midnight Blue 347 (Spurge – Madder Root – Indigo) Lucario Blue 342 (Spurge – Madder Root – Indigo) Group: Islamic Rugs...
