About the Item

The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993, no. 214. This is a series of medallions-designed rugs from the 17th century, Sarkisla (Sarkisla, Sharkishla or Sharkisla) region, Sivas, Central Anatolia area, Turkey. This rug belongs to the Sarkisla group, named for the village south of Sivas in eastern Turkey, where several rugs with similar designs were found. In general, the group dates from the 18th and 19th centuries; the wonderful color and appeal of this rug indicate that it may be slightly earlier. The layout and large motifs are peculiar to the group. Although no interim examples have survived, this type appears to be most closely related to the feathered lattice design group, most of which are from an earlier period of about two hundred years. It is useful to compare this rug with medallions surrounded by lattice-design rugs, the earliest example of the lattice type. The whole design is a series of single hooked medallions, each surrounded by figures and sailer anchors. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets and kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that 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.

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...
