Ararat Rugs the Divrigi Ulu Mosque Carpet Anatolian Revival Rug, Natural Dyed

About the Item

The source of the carpet comes from the book Turkish Carpets from the 13th – 18th centuries, Ahmet Ertug, 1996 pl.16. This 15th-century carpet is from Ulu Mosque, Divrigi Sivas region, central Anatolia. The Seljuk period marks one of the highest points in art and architecture in carpets Anatolia. It is therefore not surprising that tremendous excitement was caused by the discovery of two groups of Turkish knotted-pile carpets from this era. In 1905, Fredrik Robert Martin (1868-1933) found seven examples in the Ala’eddin Mosque in Konya, the foremost mosque at the heart of the Sultanate, constructed in stages between the mid-12th and mid-13th centuries. Generally referred to as the ‘Seljuk’ or ‘Early Konya’ carpets (although they do not relate to any later carpets attributed to Konya), these soon came to be considered the most important early Anatolian carpets. Their patterns are not reflected in the architecture and do not represent the art of the Seljuk court; they are more likely the work of one of the nomadic or semi-nomadic Turkmen tribes that inhabited central Anatolia at this time. Labeling them ‘Seljuk-period’ would therefore be more accurate. Four are large but incomplete, the other three are fragmented. They were transferred to the Evkaf Museum in Istanbul in 1911, and then to the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts. Our designers choose vivid colors for this rug.
