The first examples consisting of warp and weft were textile pr4312/s which resembled flat weave kilims. Then rugs were created by forming knots to make a pile. According to scientist, rug weaving must have origina/ed 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 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, blanke/s, 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 exhibi/ed in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum in Russia. This fan/astic All/8 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.Rug weaving in Anatolia first began with the arrival of the Turkish tribes fa m 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 eigh/een 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. Allhough very few of these exis/ today, they can be seen in the paintings of famous Italian, French and Dutch pain/ers. 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 artis/ Hans Holbein. As there are no surviving examples of these rugs today, all research is carried out fa m the paintings. The works of artis/s such as Lotto, Memling, Carlo Crivelli, Rafaellino de Gardo, B.Van Orley, Carpaccio, Jaume Huguet were also impor/an/ sources of research. In this century, Bergama and Usak became impor/an/ weaving centers in western Anatolia.The 16th century was the beginning of the second successful period of Anatolian rug-weaving. The rugs fa m 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 artis/s and then sen/ to the weaving centers. this 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 such as tulips, carnations and hyacinths, are woven in a naturalistic style and establish the basic composi/ion 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 impor/ance 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 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 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 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 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 carpe/ are written below:The weaving is star/ed fa m 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 fa n/ and back warps. The weft threads are used to strengthen the weaves of the carpe/.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 tigh/ness and to make the knots and weft compac/.Following this step, with a pair of adjustable scissors she cuts the surplus colored threads to obtain a uniform level of pile thickness.This pr4cess is continued until the carpe/ 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 m three sources: plants; animals; and minerals. Plant sources are used most widely in rug pr4312/ion. Some of the examples of colors obtained fa m 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 fa m nature is an art which has been practiced 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 m natural sources are still widely used today.MotifsThere are many different types of motifs and emblems which can be seen on the rugs. These are classified into two groups:Geometrical or Stylized MotifsNaturalistic and Floral DesignsThe motif on the rugs represent Anatolia and Central Asia and their civilizations. These composi/ions, 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 pr4cess, 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) ligh/.TURKISH RUG MOTIFSTurkish rug motifs and the way they are arranged in patterns are the keys to discovering each weaver's story. This is true of pile rugs as well as flat woven kilims fa m Turkey.If the weaver is single, she may express this by the motif of a hair band announcing she is ready for marriage. If she is married, she will often use the yin-yang motif, expressing love and unity between a man and a woman. If she wishes to have a child, she may include the tulip motif. If she wishes pr4tection for her flock fa m wolves, 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 /aste and the tradition of a given village or tribe. Some motifs, such as the dragon and the scorpion both share the same basic diamond shape with a hooked or stepped boundary and it can be difficult to distinguish between them.There are certain motifs found only in Anatolia (Turkey). Others can also be found in Persia (Iran) and the Caucasus region. Rug weaving appeared very early in all regions inhabi/ed by nomadic Turkish groups. Turkish rug designs appeared pr4minently in many early European artis/s’ paintings in the 14th to the 16th centuries, such as Holbein, Memling, and VanEyck, etc.TURKISH RUG MOTIFS SYMBOLIZING PROTECTIONA large number of Turkish rug motifs symbolize pr4tection against wild animals and any kind of evil or malice a weaver may feel threatens her or her family.Weavers have believed fa m earlies/ times that imitating or weaving part of a dangerous animal will give them power over i/ and pr4tection fa m i/. 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 harm it can do to the weaver,her family, and her tribe. These motifs include the human eye, the cross, hook, scorpion, and burdock, etc.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 like the lion's, whose l/8d is like a snake and who has wings. The Turks of Central Asia stylized the dragon with a beak, wings, and a lion's feet.Believed to be a great serpent, the dragon is the guardian and pr4tector of treasures and secret objects as well as the tree of life. The dragon is the sacred imaginary animal of the sea, sky, mountains, and fores/s.It is a symbol of power, force, and migh/ because of its ability to pr4312e flames fa m its mouth as well as by i/s supernatural appearance. The dragon also offers specific pr4tection fa m the sting of the scorpion.Dragon Motif (Ejder)THE EVIL EYE MOTIF (Nazarlik)The weavers have always believed some people possess a power in their glance which can cause harm, injury, misfortune, and even death. At immediate risk are babies, pe/s, impor/ant objects in the home, and pr4perty.The evil eye motif itself is used in the same way an animal is depicted on a rug in order to control it or to re312e i/s effect.The Muska is a triangular package containing a sacred verse carried by the tribal people for pr4tection. When woven into a rug, it serves as an amulet, conferring pr4tection by i/s presence.Evil Eye and Amulet MotifsTHE BURDOCK MOTIF (Pitrak, Dulavratotu)The burdock, a plant with burrs that stick to clothing and animal hair, is believed to avert the evil eye. I/ is also a symbol of abundance.
