About Turkish Rugs


Various Well-Known Anatolian Rugs
There are different types of rugs produced in Turkey and they are classified according to the materials used:

Silk on silk
Wool on cotton
Wool on wool
Viscose on cotton
Kilims
Tulu
Anatolian Turkish Rugs
At present, it is impossible to prove exactly when and where rug weaving began, as there is no reliable source, but it can be traced back as early the Neolithic age (7000 B.C.). The first examples consisting of warp and weft were textile products which resembled flat weave kilims. Then rugs were created by forming knots to make a pile. According to scientist, rug weaving must have originated in the dry steppe regions where the nomadic tribes lived. Central Asia was a suitable location for the first rug-weaving center because of the availability of land for herding sheep and because of the climate of the region.

Rugs have been used in the home as floor coverings, blankets, tablecloths and decorations. They acquire value as they are used, whereas most objects decrease in value over time.

The oldest example known in the history of hand-make rugs is the one which is exhibited in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum in Russia. This fantastic Altai rug was discovered by the Russian archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in the year 1949 and is known as the "Pazirik Rug", woven around the 3rd century B.C. The majority of experts believe that there is a link between ancient Turkish culture and this particular rug; they also believe that the other items found in the Pazirik Tumulus have some connection to Turkish civilization.

Nomadic rugRug weaving in Anatolia first began with the arrival of the Turkish tribes from Central Asia, who settled in this region. Therefore, Anatolian rugs form a branch of ethnic Turkish rugs. Some of the oldest examples known are the eighteen surviving pieces woven by the Selcuk Turks in the 13th century. The motifs in these pieces represented in stylized floral and geometrical patterns in several basic colors and were woven in Sivas, Kayseri and Konya.

The art of rug weaving which began with the Selcuks continued with the Ottoman Turks. After the Selcuk Turks and before the Ottomans, during the transition period in the 14th century, animal figures began to appear on the rugs. Although very few of these exist today, they can be seen in the paintings of famous Italian, French and Dutch painters. Due to the animal figures on these rugs, they are called as "Rugs with Animals".

By the 15th century there was a wider variety of animal motifs on the rugs. A new group of rugs with a combination of animal motifs and geometrical patterns appeared around this time. These rugs were called "Holbein Rugs" since they appear in paintings by the German artist Hans Holbein. As there are no surviving examples of these rugs today, all research is carried out from the paintings. The works of artists such as Lotto, Memling, Carlo Crivelli, Rafaellino de Gardo, B.Van Orley, Carpaccio, Jaume Huguet were also important sources of research. In this century, Bergama and Usak became important weaving centers in western Anatolia.

The 16th century was the beginning of the second successful period of Anatolian rug-weaving. The rugs from this period are called "Classical Ottoman Rugs". The reason these rugs are called "Palace rugs" is that the design and colors would have been determined by the palace artists and then sent to the weaving centers. this method was similar to that used in the ceramic tile production of that period.

The designs, which consisted of twisting branches, leaves and flowers such as tulips, carnations and hyacinths, are woven in a naturalistic style and establish the basic composition of the rug. This style was continued in other regions and can be seen in Turkish rugs today.

In the 16th, 17th and 18th century, Gördes, Kula, Milas, Ladik, Mucur, Kirsehir, Bandirma and Canakkale gained importance as rug-weaving centers, along with Usak and Bergama. The rugs woven in some of these areas are known as "Transylvanian Rugs" because they were found in churches in Transylvania.

In the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries, the rugs woven in Hereke (nearby Istanbul) gained worldwide recognition. These rugs were originally woven only for the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. The finest silk rugs in the world are still being woven in Hereke today.

We can identify the rugs woven in different regions as town or village rugs. The rugs woven in the agricultural areas of Anatolia owe their origins to the settlers or nomadic cultures. In Europe, these rugs (which are woven with wool on wool) are generally called "Anatolian Rugs" In towns where people have settled permanently, the rugs are woven with a wool on cotton combination.

Today in Turkey there are regions which keep this wonderful tradition alive; such rugs are woven in Konya, Kayseri, Sivas, Hereke, Yagcioglu, Kula, Dösemealti, Taspinar, Isparta, Milas, Bergama, Canakkale, Kars, Usak, Gordes, Fethiye and Yahyali.

The Craft of Weaving Rugs
A rug is a handicraft which consist of two parts; the skeleton of the rug, which is formed by vertical and horizontal threads called "warps" and "wefts" and the part which resembles a picture and is like velvet, which is called the "pile" of the rug, made by knotting different colors of thread. In order to form motifs, there are two knotting techniques:

Turkish double knot Symmetrical knotting, double or Turkish knotting. Each knot is made on two warps. In this form of knotting, each end of the pile thread is wrapped all the way around the two warps, pulled down and cut.
Non-symmetrical or single (Persian) knotting. While one end of the thread is wrapped all the way around the warp, the other end goes just beside the other warp. Then both ends are pulled down and cut.
Persian single knotThe steps for weaving a carpet are written below:

The weaving is started from the bottom of the loom. First the kilim part (flat woven part) is woven at the lower edge.
The weaver then takes a piece of wool which corresponds with the pattern and forms a knot on two warps.
Then she cuts the surplus wool with a knife.
After one row of knotting is completed, she then passes a weft thread in between the front and back warps. The weft threads are used to strengthen the weaves of the carpet.
Then she will take the "kirkit" (a heavy comb like tool) and vigorously beat down the row of knots and weft, in order to obtain the desired tightness and to make the knots and weft compact.
Following this step, with a pair of adjustable scissors she cuts the surplus colored threads to obtain a uniform level of pile thickness.
This process is continued until the carpet is complete.
Dyes
There are two types of dyes which are used to dye wool for weaving: vegetable dyes and chemical dyes. Rugs which are made using natural dyes are the most preferred. The natural dyes are obtained from three sources: plants; animals; and minerals. Plant sources are used most widely in rug production. Some of the examples of colors obtained from plants and animal sources are: red (RUBIA TINTORIA); yellow (GENISTA TINTORIA); navy blue (ISOTIS TINCTORIA and INDIGO FERETINTORIA); gray and black (OVER LUS); brown (JUNGLAND REGIA); and red (DACHYLOPIUS COCUS). Dyeing threads by using sources from nature is an art which has been practiced since ancient times. Anatolia has a large variety of plants available for dyeing purposes and this is where the craft of dyeing has been improved throughout centuries of experience. Plants gathered from natural sources are still widely used today.

Motifs
There are many different types of motifs and emblems which can be seen on the rugs. These are classified into two groups:

Geometrical or Stylized Motifs
Naturalistic and Floral Designs
The motif on the rugs represent Anatolia and Central Asia and their civilizations. These compositions, motifs, and designs represent the origins and culture of a society; therefore, a rug can be considered a cultural item. Each of the designs is meaningful, not an accidental drawing. To understand the meaning of every motif would be a very long and tiring process, as there are so many of them which have accumulated throughout the centuries. The motifs on the rugs represent Anatolia, Central Asia and their civilizations. Some of the most common motifs on rugs are the TREE OF LIFE symbolizing long life and re-birth; the HORNS OF ANIMALS which symbolize power; HANDS ON HIPS symbolizing female fertility and the mother of God; and the HANGING CANDLE symbolizing the holy (eternal) light.



RUG CARE AND CLEANING FOR HAND-KNOTTED RUGS


Never use bleach or foor polishers on the rugs.
Spot cleaning when spills happen:
• Act Fast
• BLOT – NEVER RUB
• Clean stain – Edge to Center
• Do Not SOAK
• Pat and Fan Dry
• Brush Pile with a soft brush
If food or liquids spill onto a carpet, blot up the spill as soon as possible. Use only club soda
and a clean white towel to soak up the spill. Do not soak the stain. Don't rub, as this will
spread the stain. Work the stain from the outer edge to the center. Dry with a fan or hand
blow dryer, preferably on a low heat setting. Finally, to restore the pile, brush it with a soft
brush. On old and stubborn stains, repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.
Cornstarch can be used to soak up liquid after cleaning. Sprinkle a thin (1/8”) layer of
cornstarch on rug and let it dry for 24 – 48 hours. Vacuum and whisk away excess.
Spills such as mustard, blood and mud should be allowed to dry and then scraped off.
Failure to dry the carpet properly can cause mold, mildew and dry rot with signifcant
damage.
Special Stains:
Chewing Gum – Press ice cubes against spot until it becomes brittle and breaks off. Use spot
remover to vanish last traces. Saturate the spot with a cloth soaked in vinegar or alcohol.
Candle Wax – Place a brown paper bag over the spot. Place a hot iron over the paper bag.
Move iron constantly. Wait a few minutes until the wax is absorbed. Repeat if necessary.
Ink from ballpoint pen – Saturate the spot with hairspray. Allow to dry. Blot lightly with
vinegar and water solution.
Deep cleaning:
Periodically, every 2 to 3 years, the hand-knotted rug should be cleaned by a professional in a
full immersion wet bath and it will be refreshed and look like new. Hand-knotted rugs can
be wet-cleaned in this fashion as opposed to hand-tufted rugs that can only be spot cleaned.
Moths: Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your wool rugs from being damaged by
moths. Periodic cleaning, moth proofng and rotating rugs are a good way to prevent moth
larva from taking hold and damaging your fne rugs. When inspecting rugs for moth activity,
remember that most moth damage is to the back of a rug where moths are least likely to be
disturbed. So examine the back of the rug along its perimeter and look for moths, moth larvae
or the casing or webbing they leave behind.
Fading in Sunlight: Colors fade unevenly and wool and cotton dry out and become brittle. A
good rug can be faded in a month or less. When colors are softer or lighter on the pile side of
the rug than they are on the back, it means that fading is occurring. You can eliminate hotsell or
prevent the problem by keeping the curtains closed or by having your windows
professionally coated with mylar (an invisible flm which can be applied to your windows
and which flters out harmful ultraviolet light).
Note: Never put a potted plant on a rug as the water can leak onto the rug and damage it.
Disclaimer: For diffcult or unlisted stains, please consult with a professional rug cleaner.
Never use dry cleaning methods on a wool rug. Never “steam clean” a wool rug as this may
cause dyes to bleed. The rugs should be wet-cleaned by a professional, thoroughly rinsed
and allowed to dry completely before being placed on the foor again.
Important: Vacuum your rug regularly. Sand and grit can work into the base of the pile and
abrasion can damage the wool and result in loss of pile. Vacuum only with suction, never use
a beater bar on a wool rug. DO NOT USE DYSON VACUUM CLEANERS OR ANY OTHER
VACUUM THAT HAS POWERFUL SUCTION. THESE VACUUMS CAN DAMAGE THE
RUG.
