The Seljuks, a dynasty of Oghuz Turkoman\u003cbr\u003e\norigins, ruled much of the Middle East from the eleventh to the late thirteenth\u003cbr\u003e\ncentury. In 1905, a group of carpets and fragments were discovered in a\u003cbr\u003e\nforgotten corner of the Alaeddin mosque in Konya, a city in central Anatolia\u003cbr\u003e\nthat was once the capitol of the Seljuk Empire. Referred to by rug scholars as\u003cbr\u003e\neither the “Seljuk Carpets” or “Konya Carpets,” the carpets found in the mosque\u003cbr\u003e\nare amongst the oldest surviving hand-knotted rugs known to exist. Drawing\u003cbr\u003e\ninspiration from the fantastic discoveries in Konya, the designs of this\u003cbr\u003e\nparticular Oushak rug are largely based on these ancient carpet fragments. The\u003cbr\u003e\nattractive diaper pattern, comprised of repeating offset rows of hexagons with\u003cbr\u003e\nhooked designs, dominates the field while also mimicking the motifs of the main\u003cbr\u003e\nborder, which consists of a large-scale design of opposing animal heads. The\u003cbr\u003e\nwide main border is flanked by a wave scroll outer guard border and plain inner\u003cbr\u003e\nguard border. As with the Konya carpets, the striking play of pattern and scale\u003cbr\u003e\nimbues this vintage Oushak rug with immense visual interest and graphic appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sumptuous color palette, based around dark and light shades of blue and\u003cbr\u003e\nred, emphasizes and dramatizes the bold designs. With its rich historical\u003cbr\u003e\ninspiration and undeniable vibrancy, this marvelous vintage Turkish Oushak rug\u003cbr\u003e\nwould be a true showstopper in any space.
