About the Item

Carpets called Siebenburgen or Transylvanian are those which have been found in the Protestant churches of Siebenburgen. Some of them carry a label on the back stating where, when and by whom the piece has been donated to the church. Siebenbürgen/Transylvania is an area between the South and the East Carpathian and West Siebenbürgen mountains in Romania. In 1541 the area came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire and became a Turkish protectorate of the principality of Transylvania. Legend has it that Suleiman ‘the magnificent’ sent his vizier with the gift of a beautiful carpet to the Black Church in Kronstadt (Brasov) as proof of his friendly disposition and respect for the Christian religion. Apparently, the patriarch was overjoyed and ordered 2,000 of the beautiful pieces as decoration for his churches. The use of carpets did not remain for long the domain of religion; soon merchants discovered a new market for the Anatolian carpet and a flourishing trade developed. The most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this rug.

Ararat Rugs Fachralo Kazak Rug 19th Century Caucasus Revival Carpet Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is another Kazak example of the Fachralo a town north of Lori-Pambak and just southwest of Bordjalou, from the late 19th century, Caucasus area. It has given its name to a number of usually small, boldly designed, and brilliantly colored Kazak rugs but, although this has proved a useful descriptive adjective in the rug trade, it is one used by experts on Caucasian weaving with caution. Modern research also favors the spelling of Fekhraly or Fachraly. Structurally, all the pieces are fairly similar. The foundation is all wool; the warp is usually ivory or ivory mixed with one or more shades of natural brown, and the wefts are one or more of various shades of orange-pink, pink or red. It is framed with a series of borders, the main of which is the typical Bordjalou style. The most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this rug.
