Medallion Ushak Carpet

Medallion Ushak Carpet

This beautiful large-scale Ottoman medallion carpet was woven in the Ushak region of Western Anatolia, home to one of the longest commercial weaving traditions. The focal point of this carpet is the burgundy-red central medallion surrounded by a dark indigo ground and enlivened with a cream-colored peony blossom scroll. Intricately designed corner medallions also frame the central medallion, which is often repeated in this type of carpet. The curvilinear designs of the medallions and floral vine-scrolls in the carpet mark a departure from earlier Turkish carpets with geometric designs, such as the so-called "Lotto" or "Holbein" types (named for the frequent appearance of such carpets in European still lifes and portraits by these artists). Ushak medallion carpets reflect the use of a paper cartoon that would have been provided by the Ottoman court design studio or workshop, the nakkashhane. The close parallels between the motifs and design presentation of Ushak medallion carpets and the arts of the book produced during the third quarter of the fifteenth century suggest an earlier dating for this class of carpets.

The Brooklyn Museum's Ushak medallion carpet is remarkable for the brilliance of its colors, including the deep blue ground and red central medallion. It is also in excellent condition, although this carpet, which is over thirteen feet long, has been cut down.

Ushak medallion carpets were used in an Ottoman court setting and were also highly prized in European collections. The design of this carpet is quite similar to another example in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, Lugano.

  • Catalogue Description: Carpet fragment, thought to be the center field, depicting four winged figures on a blue-green ground. The carpet fragment is from a carpet that consisted of pieces from two or more wool pile carpets that at some point prior to acquisition had been sewn together to make a large rectangular carpet. The carpet was later disassembled into eight separate fragments. The following is description of the carpet in its assemble state (description is taken from the accession sheet): "All the fragments have white cotton wefts and warps and have Sehna knots. Across the top is a thin strip of rug with a floral vine and cloud design in yellow, pink, red, orange, white and light blue on a dark blue ground. Below this is a broad band from a compartment rug, running the width of the frame. In the center, bordered on each side with four unconnected strips from the same compartment rug described above, across the bottom, and with the design lying on its side, is a broad strip with a design of birds on flowered trees and among cloud bands in much the same colors as those of the central panel, but on a white ground. The upper border has been filled out with several odd pieces. The central section has been stained brown in a number of places."
