Crown Rugs

Pazirik Rug is regarded as the archetype of the Anatolian Rug art and dated back to the 5th Century B.C. The examples of Pazirik Rug were first discovered in the tombs called Kurgan in 1949 on Altai Mountains of Central Asia, which is the fatherland of Turks. These rugs were woven solely with woollen material and via the Turkish Knot Technique known also as the Gördes Knot.  

The traditions of the Turkish Rug Art of Central Asia were sustained with the Seljuk rugs in Anatolia. The Anatolian Seljuks played a significant role in the development of knotted rug art. The Turkish-knot rugs of the period marked the beginning of a regular and constant development for the first time in the history of Turkish rugs. The knot technique of Anatolian Seljuks was based on a long and great tradition in the 13th Century and continued in this period with characteristic motifs specific to the times and later with various compositions in rugs of following centuries. 

The first activities of the Ottoman Rug Art were built upon the robust foundations developed by Seljuks. Rugs produced during the 14th and 15th Centuries demonstrate an attachment to the principles of Seljuk Rug Art in terms of technique and motifs.(1)

The infinity princaple observed in the composition of rugs was maintained as the basic principle of the Turkish Rug Art as a whole. Today, numerous Anatolian rugs, carpets and other flat-woven works demonstrate the motifs of Seljuk rugs. (2)

After the Seljuk Rugs, the second bright era of the Turkish Rug Art started with the rugs woven in and around the province of Uşak, presenting a richness of motifs in the 16th Century.

The production of the world-renowned Hereke rugs was initiated in 1844. 

Crown Rugs – Ottoman Empire

Due to the great differences between the rugs woven by the people for their daily use and needs and the rugs presented to the taste of the Palace, the Crown rugs have a specific place in the Turkish Rug Art in this period by reason of the use of a new technique and wholly naturalistic floral motifs (3).
