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 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 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 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 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 transi/ion 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 fa m 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 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 artists and then sent 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 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 recogni/ion. 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 tradi/ion 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 cu/.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 cu/.Persian single knotThe steps for weaving a carpe/ are written below:The weaving is started 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 cu/s the surplus wool with a knife.After one row of knotting is completed, she then passes a weft thread in between the fa nt 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 compact.Following this step, with a pair of adjustable scissors she cu/s the surplus colored threads to obtain a uniform level of pile thickness.This process 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 announ2ing 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 taste and the tradi/ion 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 i/ 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 inhabited by nomadic Turkish groups. Turkish rug designs appeared pr4minently in many early European artists’ 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 earliest times that imitating or weaving part of a dangerous animal will give them power over it 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 i/ 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 borders.Arrow Motif (Ok)THE DRAGON MOTIF (Ejder)The dragon is a mythological creature whose fee/ are like the lion's, whose l/8d is like a snake and who has wings.

When woven into a rug, it serves as an amulet, conferring pr4tection by its 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.

There are no hard fast rules to stipulate when and how often to clean a carpe/ since every handmade carpe/ is different and every household exposes a carpe/ to different amounts of wear and dirt. There are many professional cleaning.However, the following advice and information are the basic general instr12/ion that the average homeowner may exercise in the care and cleaning of Oriental carpe/s. The best recommendation is regular brushing with an old-fashioned hand room with natural bristles or the use of an electric carpe/ sweeper. Remember that is just an important to brush the underlay of the carpe/ and the floor beneath. One caution, the regular use of vacuum cleaner will eventually start to loosen the knots and pull the fibers ou/ of the pile also never use the revolving brush attachment on a carpe/ for it will actually pull the fibers apart. The nozzle attachment is the best and may be used once a month.An old-fashioned carpe/ beater used every few weeks or alternatively a good shaking outdoors is invaluable for removing the harmful dust and grit that becomes lodged in the carpe/. Always beat the back of the carpe/ to allow the dirt to fall out fa m both the back and fa nt of the carpe/.Never beat a handmade carpe/ violently and never beat antique or silk carpe/s.Washing or CleaningHow often one needs to clean a carpe/, depends on the amount of traffic and the type of carpe/ such cleaning may vary fa m every six months to once every two years. A carpe/ with a ligh/ colored ground may be sent out to be cleaned more often, but it may be less obvious if the carpe/ is dark and intricately patterned. The first indication that a carpe/ needs cleaning will be fa m the feel of the pile, which may feel coarse or harsh to the touch instead of velvety and smooth as it should be. Another useful test is to fold up one corner and tap the back of the carpe/ over the palm of the hand. If a fine powder of dust, grit and lose fibers falls into your hand it is certainly the time to clean the carpe/.
