{"title":"Turkish Rugs","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Turkish rug is a pile or flat-woven floor covering made in Anatolia on a vertical loom, knotted or woven by hand from wool, cotton or silk, and patterned with motifs belonging to a particular region \u0026mdash; Oushak, Hereke, Kayseri, Ya\u0026#287;c\u0026#305;bedir and dozens of village traditions, each with its own palette, knot and proportions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish tends to call them Turkish carpets. Weavers do not. A carpet is fitted wall to wall and cut to the room; a rug is laid down, turned twice a year, rolled up in a move, and eventually inherited or sold. What follows is what separates one weaving region from another, how the three construction methods actually differ, and what to look at before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes a rug Turkish?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace, knot and pattern \u0026mdash; in that order. The rug is woven in Anatolia; it is tied with the symmetrical \u003cstrong\u003eG\u0026ouml;rdes knot\u003c\/strong\u003e, which loops around two warp threads instead of one; and it carries a motif vocabulary that a weaver in a particular valley learned from the woman at the next loom rather than from a design book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique is older than the country. The Pazyryk rug, cut from the frozen tomb of a Scythian chieftain in the Altai mountains and now in the Hermitage, is roughly two and a half thousand years old and is knotted symmetrically. The oldest surviving group of rugs from Anatolia itself was found in the Al\u0026acirc;eddin Mosque in Konya and dates to the Seljuk thirteenth century: large, coarse, boldly geometric, with borders in a Kufic script that had already stopped being read as writing and had become ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe regions, and why they look different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no single Turkish style.

The \u003cstrong\u003epile\u003c\/strong\u003e is what you see and stand on: short lengths of yarn tied around pairs of warps, row by row, then beaten down with an iron comb and trimmed level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flat-woven kilim has no pile at all. The pattern is made by the weft itself, packed tight enough to hide the warp, which is why a kilim is thin, reversible and light enough to hang. It is also why a kilim is quicker to make \u0026mdash; weeks rather than months \u0026mdash; and priced accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fiber decides as much as the structure. Highland wool is warm underfoot and slow to wear, and it takes up moisture from the air rather than sitting on top of it. Cotton is lighter and cooler, breathes well, and is the fiber most people reach for in summer. Silk is the softest and the most reflective of the three, and it is the reason a Hereke changes color as you cross the room.

Nothing is knotted, nothing stands proud, and the pattern exists only as the meeting of colored wefts — which is why kilim motifs are always angular, why the piece weighs so little, and why the reverse is as finished as the front. Where two colors meet along a vertical line the weaver leaves a slit, and holding one of these up to a window shows those slits as a row of small bright lines. That is correct construction, not damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motifs are the standard Anatolian vocabulary — hooked forms, stepped diamonds, running borders — and the color is what marks it out, several strong dyes at once rather than a single dominant field.

Expect what that implies: a corner that has curled, a color that has moved a shade, an edge that is not perfectly straight.

A flatweave has one habit worth knowing in advance: it is thin, so it travels across a polished floor unless something grips underneath it. It also has an advantage nothing with a pile can offer — when one face has taken enough light, you turn it over and start again.
