Ararat Rugs The Original Color Chart Rug, Turkish Carpet, Natural Dyed Cartela

About the Item

Introducing the Color Chart Rug from Ararat Rugs, a masterpiece that exemplifies the rich tradition of natural dyeing and expert craftsmanship. This rug is meticulously handwoven with a heavy, Bidjar-like density, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity, including non-dyed natural sheep's wool (first three rows) and all-natural dyes rest. Materials and Craftsmanship: Wool Source: The wool is sourced from fat-tailed Karaman sheep, renowned for their dense fibers. These sheep graze in high mountain pastures during the summer, resulting in hard, heavy yarns that are especially resistant to wear. Natural Dyes: Each colors are achieved using plants and roots grown locally, adhering to traditional dyeing methods that have been passed down through generations. Weaving Technique: Utilizing symmetrical knots on a depressed warp inclining to the right, the rug boasts a knot density of 39x39 per square decimeter and a pile height of 4 mm. This technique contributes to its robust structure and intricate design. Dimensions and Availability: Size: 4 feet 5 inches x 7 feet 9 inches (139 cm x 236 cm) Weight: Approximately 11 kg Location: Currently in stock at our Istanbul Showroom Price: $8,500 This Color Chart Rug is not only a functional piece but also a work of art that reflects the dedication to quality and tradition inherent in Ararat Rugs' creations. Its rich hues and durable construction make it a timeless addition to any space. About Ararat Rugs Colors; In the 1930s from the Agricultural Institute ( Köy Enstitüleri ) in Ankara, a vital work by Refik Korur was written in German: Die Färbepflanzen der Türkei, published in 1937. At that time, many emigrants from Germany were active at Turkish universities and other state institutions. There also were non-emigrants, whom Atatürk had brought to the country as specialists. Ararat’s Color Chart Carpet was not made in a day, and years of experience and knowledge passed through DOBAG and Herald Böhmer. Ararat is now carrying the flag of those values to the future. As you may see in our Color Chart Rug, how to dye each color has been clarified, and each recipe is stored as an "Ararat Rugs Knowledge Treasure." Of course, it is not limited to this color chart, and the fact that we have specialists who can dye various variations as needed is another strength unique to us and our production area. In the 1980s, Dr. Harald Böhmer, author of “KOEKBOYA - Natural Dyes and Textiles a Color Journey from Turkey to India and Beyond," traveled from Turkey to India and researched 100 kinds of plant dyeing materials and dyeing methods. In 1960, Herald Böhmer was appointed science teacher at a German international school in Istanbul. Within walking distance from school at the Grand Bazaar, he encountered many carpets and kilims and was inspired by their colors and beauty. His research stance, which investigates chemistry, then he remained a formula and significantly contributed to subsequent carpet making. In the era when the two researchers set out to elucidate the miraculous color dyeing, industrialization aimed at mass production progressed rapidly, as did tradition. Dr. Böhmer, during his research, introduced a German fund, along with the Marmara University of Istanbul, to implement and take a step into practice the DOBAG project. The goal of the project was to make carpets using traditional natural dyes. The aim was to connect rugs and flat-woven rugs to the international market, to ensure the economic stability of the women in the village, and to ensure the village's survival. Since its start in 1981, the project has had breakthrough success, and the carpets have spread worldwide. Ararat Rugs is proud to keep the knowledge and experience of Dr. Refik Korur, Dr. Harald Böhmer, and Recep Karadag (Assistant of Böhmer). Without these efforts, we would not have been able to have the dream of creating antiques for the future. Rome was not built in a day, and in fact, it took a long, long time to create the background of our Color Chart Carpet, too.

Ararat Rugs Oushak Palmette Lattice Rug, Turkish Revival Carpet, Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
The town of Ushak, north of Denizli, is probably one of the most important and renowned carpet centers. Carpets have survived since the 16th century and can be seen in several museums. In the 17th century great quantities of Ushak carpets were made for the royal houses of Europe, often incorporating crests; many Christian churches, not only in Transylvania, were often decorated with very large pieces. According to their structure and patterning, there are several types of Ushak carpets: the star Ushak, the medallion Ushak, the ‘bird’ carpet (with a white background, the name relates to the shapes of the field motifs), and ‘Chintamani’ carpets (often with a white background and three-ball pattern, mostly in connection with cloud bands). Many great painters have ensured the survival of Ushak carpet designs by including them in their works. Two representatives of the Ushak group take their name from such renowned artists: pieces with plaited band medallions in several variations are named ‘Holbein’ carpets after Hans Holbein, the younger; ‘Lotto’ carpets refer to the painter Lorenzo Lotto...
