Muut tiedot

The so-called Medallion Ushak carpets represent one of the most distinguished groups within Ottoman textile art of the 16th and 17th centuries. They are defined by their grand central medallions, surrounded by flowing arabesques and star-shaped motifs, woven in the soft, lustrous Ushak wool characteristic of the region. The palette, dominated by deep reds, indigo blues, and golden hues, creates a monumental yet harmonious composition.

Carpets of this type are frequently depicted in European Renaissance paintings, where they signified status, erudition, and worldly taste. Extensively traded to princely courts and churches across the continent, they exemplify the remarkable artistic and technical sophistication achieved in the weaving ateliers of western Anatolia during the height of the Ottoman period.
