EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century carpet hails from the Anatolian region of Turkey, specifically from the areas known for producing Oushak and Usak carpets. The precise date of creation remains unknown, but it is estimated to fall between the years 1775 and 1800. This masterpiece of textile art was woven using wool in a technique known as Turkish Ghiordes knots, which involves a wool plain weave with variations and supplementary wrapping wefts forming cut pile. The carpet showcases an intricate and vibrant design, with a rich palette of colors and hues that have been expertly preserved over the centuries. The patterns are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision of its creators. The design is typical of the Anatolian tradition, featuring a central medallion surrounded by intricate floral and geometric motifs. This carpet is a significant addition to any art collection, as it represents the heritage and artistic achievements of Turkey during the eighteenth century. It is a soft furnishing that not only adds beauty and warmth to a space, but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history of Asia Minor. This carpet is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as part of their extensive textiles collection. The carpet's intricate design and exceptional craftsmanship make it a must-see for anyone with an interest in textile arts, Asian art, or the history of Turkey.
