About the Item
A captivating masterpiece of pictorial textile art, this hand-knotted pure silk rug was crafted by the renowned Hasoglu workshop, celebrated masters in the esteemed Turkish weaving tradition. More than a rug, this piece is a narrative tapestry, meticulously woven with an exceptionally high knot density that allows for astonishing, photorealistic detail.
The central scene vibrantly depicts one of the most pivotal moments in world history: Sultan Mehmed II, "The Conqueror," entering Constantinople in 1453. The Sultan is portrayed majestically on his white horse, leading his victorious Ottoman army under an ornate archway, symbolizing the city's gate. The rich color palette—deep royal blues, crimson reds, and antique golds—brings the historic moment to life with incredible depth and emotion.
This central narrative is framed by a series of beautifully rendered vignettes and powerful symbols:
Ottoman Tughra: At the top center, the imperial seal of the Sultan affirms the piece's royal and historical significance.
Corner Scenes: Each corner features a detailed illustration, including a depiction of the majestic Hagia Sophia, the formidable Ottoman fleet that secured the naval victory, and portraits of key figures, creating a comprehensive visual history.
Intricate Borders: The main field is surrounded by lavish floral borders and elegant Arabic calligraphy, adding layers of artistic and cultural richness.
Rendered entirely in lustrous silk, the tapestry shimmers with a unique radiance, its colors shifting beautifully with the changing light. Its fine, dense weave is a testament to the weaver's extraordinary skill and patience.
Given its dimensions and artistic focus, this piece is perfectly suited for framing and display as a wall hanging. It would serve as a stunning centerpiece in a study, library, or private collection, appealing to connoisseurs of fine textiles, historical art, and masterful craftsmanship.
