{"title":"Classic Design Rugs","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA classic rug is one drawn to an inherited pattern rather than a current one: a central medallion, a full border in several bands, and stylized floral or vine work handed down through Anatolian and Persian workshops. Halıcızade lists more than four hundred of them, hand-knotted, loom-woven and machine-woven, in wool, silk and cotton.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic here describes the drawing, not the date of weaving. The collection runs from hand-knotted wool pieces in the Anatolian shawl and vintage manner to loom-woven and machine-woven rugs that carry the same medallions at a fraction of the labor. What follows is where the patterns come from, how the three constructions differ, and what to weigh before choosing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes a rug classic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed grammar: field, medallion, corner spandrel, border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every classic Turkish or Persian design is built from the same four parts. The field is the open ground; the \u003cstrong\u003ecentral medallion\u003c\/strong\u003e sits at its center and is usually echoed in quarter form at the corners; the border runs in three or more parallel bands, the widest in the middle, the narrow guard stripes on either side. Within that frame a weaver could draw anything — palmettes, cloud bands, vine scrolls, a tree of life — and the frame held it together. Motifs move between regions, but the architecture does not change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome pieces in this collection are given an antiqued finish, a deliberate softening of the pile and palette that reads as an older rug. Isparta and Bünyan, both long-standing Turkish weaving towns, built much of their trade on it.

The earliest \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/usak-rugs\"\u003eOushak rugs\u003c\/a\u003e date to the fifteenth century, and their open fields and wide medallions are the reason Renaissance painters kept putting them under the feet of their sitters.
