Description
    The carpet represents a crowning achievement of Ottoman court manufacturing in the second half of the 16th century. The so-called saz style—emanating from the court—shaped the period’s textile arts, book painting, and ceramics, helping them flourish. This carpet is an early example of the incorporation of architectonic motifs—here two flanking columns—into carpet art. Nearly perfectly preserved, the Ottoman carpet shows an arch in the field, characteristic for the genre as a decoration or stylization of prayer niches in the mosque (“mihrab”). Technically, the Ottoman carpets are similar to those of the Mamluk and Safavid Empires, since they feature asymmetrical knots allowing a nuanced design.
