EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and intricately designed carpet hails from Carpet, Turkey, and dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The exact creation date and the name of the artist or weaver remain unknown, adding to the allure of this exquisite piece. Originating from the Anatolian region of Turkey, in Asia Minor, this carpet is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the area. The carpet is a prime example of the traditional Turkish weaving techniques, specifically the use of wool plain weave with supplementary wrapping wefts forming cut pile through a technique known as Ghiordes knots. The carpet is adorned with a vibrant and intricate geometric pattern, showcasing a beautiful interplay of colors and hues. The warp fringe and weft are made of wool, adding to the softness and durability of the piece. This carpet is a true work of art, and a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the anonymous weaver. It is a reminder of the rich textile history of Turkey and the Anatolian region, and a valuable addition to any art collection. This carpet is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and gallery, where it is cherished for its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. The carpet is not only a decorative object, but also an important piece of cultural heritage, serving as a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of Turkey and the Anatolian region.
