Turkey Wool Anadol Rug - 0.42 x 0.40 GabehRug weaving started in Turkey since 13th century with the arrival of the Seljuks , who were nomadic tribes from central Asia. In Ottoman Turkey, weaving patterns and techniques changed in the early sixteenth century after conquests in Persia and Egypt. Anatolia had been known for carpets with stylized animal and geometric designs, but with these new cultural contacts, carpets designed around a central medallion and with flowing saz style vegetation
The design of this carpet is a work of genius
maintaining their luster and appearance for centuries
Designed by Master Ahmad Noori
The rest of the carpet has an amazing range of flowers and motifs
though they are not as finely knotted
it is made of wool and is from the city of Tabriz
The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and said: I know how love's fire can burn
The older Sanandaj rugs are extremely valuable and durable
The Lilihan rugs are using single -wefted weave
which help to emphasis the parchment colour base of the main field
Note the abundance of flowers on healthy vines
This is a marvellous central medallion carpet that consists of a diamond framework and a single floral head surrounded by outwardly curling acanthus leaves
