This unmistakable group of carpets comes from a place of the same name, that lies northwest of Konya. Most pile works of Ladik are prayer rugs with a specific layout. The layout consists of a Mihrab, or prayer niche, and invariably a row of tulips. Tulips and other floral embellishments show the influence of the Ottoman court. The tulip was the symbol of the decadent Ottoman court in the 18th century (the “lale devri” period). All these factors are evident in this early piece. The filler motifs stand out strikingly against the rare (almost unique) ivory ground of the prayer niche. The tree of life displays floral decorations and birds’ claws of Central Asian and shamanistic origins. The delicate green in the main border and the simple meandering vines in the secondary borders point to the strong influence of courtly design. 185 x 118 cm. 11 YORUK KURDISH RUG, EASTERN ANATOLIA.

This fragment belongs to a magnificent large Ushak carpet with medallion and Chintamani design. The size of the original carpet would have been around 800 x 350 cm. 156 x 108 cm. 17 OPPOSITE, MALATYA PRAYER RUG. Mid 19th century. The Kurds of Malatya are the authors of this joyful prayer rug. The field of this rug contains rows of double-headed amulets. A thrilling green color was used for the mihrab. 160 x 100 cm. DIVAN COVER, EASTERN ANATOLIA. Early 19th century. This unusual piece was woven for a very specific use. It only has three borders because it was used as a divan cover. 234 x 103 cm. 19 KONYA, CENTRAL ANATOLIA.

T HE C AUCASUS AZERI FLATWOVEN COVER (VERNI), EASTERN CAUCASUS. Dated 1257 A.H. (1840 A.D.) Most such verni (or verneh, commonly called Zili or Silleh) are woven in two vertically joined halves. Rarely do these covers come in one piece, such as this one. A superb flat weave soumak with an endless repeat pattern of stylized dragons, fashioned into an angular “S” form. The dragon is rendered with evident horns, spines, scales, feet and whiskers. 287 x 200 cm. 23 FAKHRALOU KAZAK, PRAYER RUG, WESTERN CAUCASUS. Second half of 19th century.

End of the 19th century. Karachoph is a village in the Southern Caucasus, not far from lake Sevan. The name itself means “black stick”. According to historical studies, the population of this region formed a mixed ethnic and religious group, a true reflection of the people of this mountainous region of the Caucasus. Karachov rugs share specific formal idioms and a definite palette. A high pile and rich bluish green and yellow tones are also characteristics of these expressive rugs. A massive ivory octagon classically dominates the field, surrounded by a pattern of starry cubes. The huge ivory octagon that usually dominates the field is, in this piece, surrounded by four flaming red ground emblems instead of the typical Karachov cartouches. These four emblems are reminiscent of Shirvan and Eastern Caucasian forms. Magnificent lustrous wool, high pile and vibrant colors characterize this expressive and unusually massive piece. 295 x 213 cm. 27 LORI PAMBAK, SOUTHERN CAUCASUS. Second half of the 19th century. The green cruciform motif, outlined in yellow in the center of the ivory octagon, is the first characteristic of Lori Pambak weavings. Carpet experts agree that this cruciform flower evolved from zoomorphic origins. The size of this piece is of monumental proportions. Four equally wide borders surround the central field. The innermost KAZAK KARACHOV RUG, SOUTHWEST CAUCASUS. border has a repeat of multicolored rhomboid shapes.

End of the 19th century. What characterizes the Zakatala Caucasian / Kurdish rugs is that they have no design repertoire of their own, but rather a huge range of designs adopted from elsewhere. In this piece, the design is derived from Sewan rugs but executed in the deep rich color palette of the region. 215 x 176 cm. CHELABERD, SOUTHEASTERN CAUCASUS. Second half of the 19th century. The Chelaberd motif (commonly known as Eagle) appears three times in full scale in this piece. The last motif is interrupted by the border to give an effect of infinity. An ivory stellar main border frames the field. 331 x 152 cm. 31 TALISH MET-HANE DESIGN RUG, SOUTHEAST CAUCASUS. Mid 19th century.

End of the 19th century. “Cloud-band” Kazaks were made in the vicinity of the town of Chonsorezk. Two massive medallions dominate the otherwise empty red field of this vibrant rug.

  • Oriental Rugs from Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey
    Modified By The Rug Guru Oriental Rugs From Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey ... Turkmen Rugs Geography West Turkestan is an area of some 700,000 square kilometres with the Caspian Sea to the west, the Mangyshlak Peninsula to the northeast and the Kapet-Dagh Mountains and the outskirts of the Hindukush forming a semicircle to the south. West of what since 1924 has been the border of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkmenistan are Afghanistan and the Iranian province of Khorassan. At the eastern side is the huge Chinese province of Xinjiang (Sinkiang). Usually referred to in the context of weaving literature as East Turkestan. Thus viewed in simple geographic terms, it is easier to understand the nature of this Eurasian basin, part of the ancient world's dry belt. To the western side of the region is the Karakum desert and to the east, between the Amu- Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the Kyzylkum desert. To the south, that there was earlier the Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan, now this independent state, are the important trading centres of Bukhara and Samarkand. The latter having been a major post along the ancient Silk Road, which ran from China through East Turkestan and on westwards, via Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Mary (Merv) in Turkmenistan and Khorasan. Many different ethnic groups have occupied this region for millennia and among those associated with weaving, in addition to the Turkmen's themselves, are the Uzbeks, Karakalpaks and Kirgiz. Historical Research Serious research into the weaving culture of the Turkmen's must, of course, encompass more than aesthetic appreciation.

The construction of the mosque uses other traditional structural elements as well such as “panj kasehi” (five concaves). These days, the mosque is more of a tourist attraction than a place for prayer.

  • The Tree of Life Design – Part 1
    S. Busatta– The Tree of Life Design – Part 1 Cultural Anthropology 205 – 220 The Tree of Life Design From Central Asia to Navajoland and Back (With a Mexican Detour) Part 1 Sandra Busatta Antrocom-Onlus sez. Veneto The Tree of Life design is thought to be originated in Central Asia possibly from shamanic cultures, and can be seen as a favorite pattern in many carpets and rugs produced in a huge area, from Afghanistan to Eastern Europe. From the Middle East, together with other Christian and Moorish designs, it was imported to Central America where it mixed with the local versions of Tree of Life. Traders who brought Oriental carpet patterns to be reproduced by Navajo weavers made it known to them, but it was only after the 1970s that the design has had a real success together with other pictorial rugs. Introduction In the late 1970s for the first time I saw a number of samples showing the so-called Tree of Life design embellishing the walls of a restaurant in the Navajo reservation. In one or two trading posts and art galleries in the Southwest I also saw some Tree of Life rugs made by Navajo weavers, and also some Zapotec imitations, sold almost clandestinely by a roadside vendor at a ridiculously low price. The shops selling Mexican artesanias, both in the US Southwest and in Mexico, however, displayed only a type of Tree of Life: a ceramic chandelier- like, very colorful item that had very little to do with the Tree of Life design in the Navajo rugs and their Zapotec imitations.

  • Identification Manual
    ORIENTAL & FINE AREA RUG CLEANING IDENTIFICATION MANUAL “TRY NOT TO BECOME A MAN OF SUCCESS, BUT RATHER A MAN OF VALUE.” – ALBERT EINSTEIN RUG TYPES AND CONSTRUCTION The construction of any hand-woven or machine-woven rug begins with the interlacing of warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) yarns, which are known as the foundation. This creates the basic structure of the rug, to which the pile yarns may be added with hand knotting or mechanical insertion. Foundation yarns used in rugs are: wool, silk, cotton, jute, polyester and polypropylene. Foundation yarns include: Warp – cotton, wool, silk, linen, polyester, slit-film polypropylene. Weft – cotton, wool, silk, jute, spun polypropylene. Stuffer – cotton (one or several).
