Turkish rugs & carpets:
Until the Great Persian Carpet Revival in the later 19th century, the “Oriental rug” was Turkish. For nearly six centuries, Turkish rugs, both scatter, room size, and even larger, thoroughly dominated the European import market. Whereas the Persian carpet can be divided into urban, village, and tribal types, in Turkey and its predecessor the Ottoman Empire, rugs almost exclusively came from village weavers and from a small number of urban workshops. Ninety percent village, nine percent city, one percent tribal.
Turkish weavers have, with very few exceptions, always worked with the symmetric (Turkish) knot. Wool foundations are standard practice among both town and village weavers. The exceptions, very finely woven 20th century and recent Herekeh silks from near Istanbul, and early 17th century Ottoman Court rugs from Bursa, constitute only a tiny part of the total. Always pricey, they appealed and still appeal to the clients who want lots of knots and perfect execution instead of individual personality.
The urban workshops have been centered around the western Turkish city of Oushak and its attendant port town of Smyrna. Oushak weaves with the trends in fashion. When color saturated medallion carpets were needed, Oushak was ready in the 17th and 18th centuries. When coarse red and blue carpets...

Zeki Muren Vintage Turkish Sivas Rug
By Zeki Müren
Located in Dallas, TX
51925 Distressed Vintage Turkish Sivas Rug, 03'07 x 06'04. Named in honor of the celebrated Turkish vocalist, Zeki Müren, Zeki Muren Turkish Sivas rugs hail from the Sivas region of Turkey. These rugs are revered for their exquisite craftsmanship, boasting intricate designs and vibrant color schemes often adorned with geometric patterns, floral motifs, and detailed borders. Crafted from locally-sourced wool and dyed with natural pigments, they stand as a tribute to the rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy of the region. Zeki Müren's association with luxury and sophistication has heightened the desirability of these rugs, making them highly coveted for their aesthetic allure, enduring quality, and cultural significance within the realms of interior design and carpet collection.
Infusing the essence of French Provincial charm, this hand-knotted wool distressed vintage Turkish Sivas rug epitomizes the allure of French Country Cottage style. Adorned with a timeless floral motif and imbued with traditional sensibility, the rug boasts a lovingly timeworn patina that adds to its rustic elegance. Across the weathered field, large cabbage rose motifs dance upon an abrashed striped checkerboard backdrop, creating a picturesque scene reminiscent of idyllic countryside landscapes.
Drawing inspiration from European designs, such as those found in the Savonnerie rug workshops of France, this vintage Turkish rug pays homage to the intricate craftsmanship and naturalistic beauty of French floral motifs. The painterly appearance of the rose bouquets, with their well-defined petals and leaves, evokes a sense of timeless romance and sophistication. Meanwhile, the alternating vertically and horizontally striped squares within the field impart a striking optical effect, akin to antique parquet...
