About the Item

The source of carpet comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.198. This is a dramatic and unique field design 16th-century carpet from the Anatolia region, Turkey. According to this book; at the top of the vertical extensions from the central medallion sits the small female figure: fallopian tubes extend from her lower body into the field, and the central medallion may represent the womb and embryo within it. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets and kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas. This tradition dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period. The design of this rug is interpreted with a series of borders and soft colors chosen by our designers for this rug. Color summary: 9 colors in total, most used 4 colors are; Dark Brown 316 (No Dye – Sheep’s own Color) Khaki 413 (Dyers’s Weed) Vidalia 35 (Indigo) Coral 531 (Madder Root – Walnut Husk) Group: Anatolian Rugs Family Area: Anatolian Material of Pile: Natural Dyed Hand-spun Wool Material Warp / Weft: Wool on Wool Structure: Symmetrical knot Knots Density: 36x29 Production Place: Wast Anatolia – Manisa Province Stock Location: Tokyo Size (EU): 337 X 164cm Size (US): 11'0" X 5'4" Area (EU): 5.5m² Area (US): 59.5ft²

Ararat Rugs Star Ushak Carpet 16th Century Museum Piece Revival Rug Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
The source of the carpet comes from the book How to Read – Islamic carpets, Walter B. Denny, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 2014 fig.46-47 and Oriental Rugs, Volume 4 Turkish, Kurt Zipper and Claudia Fritzsche, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1989 nr.82. This 16th century deeply serrated eight-lobbed starlike medallion rug is from central Anatolia. Similar designs are exhibited at various museums. 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...
