The first examples consisting of warp&and weft were tex.ile pr4312/s which resembled flat weave kilims. Then rugs were created by forming&knots to make a pile. According to scientist,orug weaving must have originated in the dry steppe regions where the nomadic tribes lived.Central Asia4was a suitable location for&the first rug-weaving center because of the av/8dability 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 obje2/s decrease in value over time.The oldest example&known in the his/ory of hand-make rugs is the one which is exhibited in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum in Russia. This fantastic All/8orug was discovered by the Russian archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in the year 1949 and is known as the "Pazirik4Rug",owoven ar und the 3rd century B.C. The majority of experts believe that there is a link4between ancient Turkish culture and this particular&rug;othey also believe that the&other&items f und in the Pazirik4Tumulus have some connection to Turkish civilization.Rug weaving in Anatolia first beganowith the arrival of the Turkish tribes ea poCentral Asia, who settled in this region. Therefore, Anatolian rugs form a branchoof 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 beganowith the Selcuks continuedowith the Ottoman Turks. After the Selcuk Turks and before the Ottomans, during the transition period in the 14th century, animal figures beganoto appear on the rugs. Allhough very few of these exist today, they can beoseen in the paintings of&famous Italian,oFrench and Dutch painters. Due to the animal figures on these rugs, they are called as "Rugs with Animals".The works of artists suchoas 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 fa pothis period are called "Classical Ottoman Rugs". The reason these rugs are called "Palace rugs" is that the&design and colors would have been delermined by the palace artists and then sent to the weaving centers.othis method was similar to&that used in the ceramic tile pr4312/ion of that period.The designs, which consisted of twisting branches, leaves and flowers suchoas tulips, carnations and hyacinths, are woven in a naturalistic style and establish the basic composition of the rug. This style was continuedoin&other®ions and can beoseen 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,oalong with Usak and Bergama. The rugs woven in some of these areas are known as "Transylvanian Rugs" because they were f und 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 aowool&on cotton combination.Today in Turkey there are regions which keepothis wonderful tradition alive; suchorugs are woven in Konya, Kayseri, Sivas, Hereke, Yagcioglu, Kula, Dösemealti, Taspinar, Isparta, Milas, Bergama, Canakkale, Kars,oUsak, Gordes, Fethiye and Yahyali.The Craft of Weaving RugsA 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 likeovelvet, which is called the "pile" of the rug, made by knotting different colors of thread. In order to form motifs, there are two knotting technique6:Turkish double&knotSymmetrical 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 ar und the two warps, pulled down and cut.Non-symmetrical or&single (Persian) knotting. While one end of the thread is wrapped all the way ar und the warp, the&other&end goes just beside the&other&warp. Then b th ends are pulled down and cut.Persian&single knotThe steps for weaving a carpet are written below:The weaving is started fa pothe 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 aoknife.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 likeotool) and4vigor usly beat down the row of knots and weft,oin&order to obtain the desired tightness and to make the knots and weft compact.Following this step,owith aopair ofoadjustable scissors she cuts the surplus colored threads to obtain a uniform level ofopile thickness.This pr4cess is continuedountil the carpet is complete.DyesThere 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 fa pothree sources: plants; animals; and minerals. Plant sources are used most widely in rug pr4312/ion. Some of the examples of colors obtained fa poplants 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 fa ponature is an art which has been pra2/iced since ancient times. Anatolia has a&large variety of plants av/8dable for dyeing purposes and this is where the craft of dyeing has been improved throughout centuries of experience. Plants gathered fa ponatural sources are still widely used today.MotifsThere are many different types of&motifs and emblems which can beoseen on the rugs. These are classified into two gr up6:Geometrical or Stylized MotifsNaturalistic and Floral DesignsThe motif on the rugs represent Anatolia and Central Asia4and their civilizations. These compositions, motifs, and designs represent the origins and culture of a society; therefore, aorug can beoconsidered a cultural item. Each of the designs is meaningful, not an accidental drawing. Toounderstand the meaning of every motif would beoa very long and tiring pr4cess, as there are so many of them which haveoaccumulated throughout the centuries.The motifs on the rugs represent Anatolia, Central Asia4and their civilizations. Some of the most common motifs on rugs are the TURKISH RUG MOTIFSTurkish rug motifs and the way they are arranged in patterns are the keys to discovering each weaver's s/ory. This is true ofopile rugs as well as flat woven kilims ea poTurkey.If the weaver is&single, she may&express this by the motif of a hair&band ann uncing she is ready for marriage. If she is married, she will often use the yin-yang motif,&expressing love and unity4between a man and a woman. If she wishes to&haveoa child, she may&include the tulip motif. If she wishes pr4tection for her flock ea powolves, she can use the wolf's foot motif.Turkish rug motifs can vary in shapes and sizes, as well as colors, all chosen according to the taste and the tradition of a given village or tribe. Some motifs, suchoas the dragon and the scorpion b th share the same4basic diamond shapeowith aohooked or stepped b undary and4it can beodifficult to distinguish between them.There are certain motifs f und only in Anatolia (Turkey). Others can also be f und in Persia (Iran) and the Caucasus region. Rug weaving appeared very early in all regions inhabited by nomadic Turkish gr up6. Turkish rug designs appeared pr4minently4in many early European artists’ paintings in the 14th to the 16th centuries, suchoas Holbein, Memling, and VanEyck,oetc.TURKISH RUG MOTIFS SYMBOLIZING PROTECTIONA&large number&of Turkish rug motifs symbolize pr4tection against wild animals and any kind of evil oromalice a weaver may&feel threatens her or her family.Weavers have believed fa poearliest times that imitating or weaving part of&a dangerous animal will give them power over it and pr4tection fa poit. Examples of these are the scorpion, the&snake, and the wolf's foot or wolf's mouth.A&large number&of Turkish rug motifs contain motifs woven as pr4tection against the evil eye and the harm4it can do to the weaver,her family, and her tribe. These motifs include the human eye, the&cross, hook, scorpion, and burdock,oetc.The most common Turkish rug motifs symbolizing pr4tection are noted below:THE ARROW MOTIF (Ok)The arrow motif is a general pr4tective symbol usually used in border6.Arrow Motif (Ok)THE DRAGON MOTIF (Ejder)The dragon is a mythological creature whose feet are likeothe lion's, whose l/8d is likeoa&snake and who has wings. The Turks of Central Asia4stylized the dragon with aobeak, wings, and a lion's feet. The dragon is the sacred imaginary animal of the sea, sky, mountains, and forests.It is a symbol of power, force, and might because of its ability to pr4312e flames fa poits mouth as well as by its supernatural appearance. The dragon also offers specific pr4tection fa pothe sting of the scorpion.Dragon Motif (Ejder)THE EVIL EYE MOTIF (Nazarlik)The weavers have alwaysobelieved some people possess a power in their&glance which can cause harm,oinjury, misfortune, and even death. At immediate risk are babies, pets, important obje2/s in the home, and pr4perty.The evil eye motif itself is used in the same4way an animal is depicted on aorug in&order to control&it or to re312e its effect.The Muska is a triangular&package containing a sacred verse carried by the tribal people for pr4tection. When woven into a rug, itoserves as an amulet, conferring pr4tection by its presence.Evil Eye and Amulet MotifsTHE BURDOCK MOTIF (Pitrak, Dulavratotu)The burdock,oa plant with burrs that stick to clothing and animal hair, isobelieved to avert the evil eye. It is also a symbol of abundance.Burdock Motif (Pitrak) THE CROSS MOTIF (HAC)The cross motif can divide the&evil eye into four&pieces,4thus re312ing its power. The cross motif was used well before Christianity and does not represent religious meanings.The swastika is a variation of the cross motif and has been used for centuries as a motif in rugs.Cross Motif (Hac)THE EYE MOTIF(Goz)The belief is the human eye is the most effective precaution against the evil eye. Very4often it is depicted as a spot (usually of blue color) inside a triangle, square or quadrangle. Aocommon form of the human eye is a diamond divided into four&parts. The particular&eye motif used on rugs can vary fa poone regionoto another.Eye Motif (Goz)THE HAND (El), FINGER (Parmak), and COMB (Tarak) MOTIFSThe hand, finger, and comb motifs are very similar. All are used against spells and the evil eye. The use of this theme4dates back to very early times. The fingers on the hand number&five, which is considered a lucky number.The comb motif is largely&related to marriage and birth. When used against the evil eye,4it expresses the desire to pr4tect birth and marriage against evil eye.
