Ararat Rugs Star and Octagon Medallion Carpet Anatolian Revival Rug Natural Dyed

About the Item

The source of carpet comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.161. This exceptionally elegant and unusual central octagon figure is enclosed by an eight-pointed star-design 16th-century carpet from the West Turkey area. This carpet is unusual because, the first impression is that a 2-1-2 composition, as is often found in court and workshop carpets of the 16th and 17th centuries. A significant difference; In 2-1-2 compositions the central figure is always an octagon, however this carpet’s octagon, in addition, is enclosed by an eight-pointed star design. 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 of time. The design of this rug is interpreted and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.

    This is a dual medallion as the main element of the design of 18th-century carpet from the Konya region, Central Anatolia area of Turkey. Rugs of this type, using two medallions, appear frequently in 15th-century paintings of both the Venetian and the Flemish schools. This pattern tradition survived into the 18th and even into the 19th century in Anatolian village rugs of which this is an exceptionally powerful example. The two octagons that fill almost all of the field enclose a small octagon in the center from which radiate rectangular panels in a star-like fashion, filled with “latch-hook” patterns. Typical two medallions central octagon carpets contain a star-and-knot design commonly found in “Holbein” rugs...
