  • A Brief History of Antique Turkish Textiles

    Eventually discovered in the early 20th century in mosques, such as those in Konya and Beyşehir, 13th-century Turkish Seljuk rugs were once commissioned by the royal courts and traded widely across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Turkish rug weaving reached its apex during the Ottoman Empire, when new designs and techniques enriched the broader Anatolian tradition of weaving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an Oushak and a Kilim?

These two types of Turkish carpets for sale are unique in their knotting styles, color preferences, and aesthetic motifs. Oushak rugs are hand-knotted, resulting in a thicker pile. They also feature softer colors and both floral and geometric designs. Kilim rugs are flatwoven and lightweight. They also prioritize geometric patterns in bold colors in the creation of large carpets.

Are Turkish area rugs the same as Anatolian rugs?

Anatolian rugs are a type of Turkish carpet that denotes a specific region. Anatolian rugs originate on the Anatolian Peninsula and are known for their tribal and geometric motifs. They also primarily use vibrant or earthy colors, usually from natural dyes.

How do Turkish rugs compare to Persian rugs?

Turkish and Persian rugs are distinguished by geography, regional weaving traditions, design vocabulary, and knotting techniques rather than by a simple historical timeline.

  • Turkish Carpets for Sale: These textiles feature bold, geometric designs with hexagons, medallions, and diamonds. They also reflect the tribal influences of the region with richer colors. Turkish rugs are also woven using a Ghiordes knot, a symmetrical pattern ideal for geometric motifs.
  • Persian Rugs for Sale: Because the Persian style of rug making uses the Senneh knot, which is asymmetrical, the result is a penchant for curving, intricate designs best used for botanical and floral aesthetics. Common motifs include plants, animals, medallions, and complex borders.
