Ladik
Ca. 1800, 216 x 141 cm, Central Anatolia
Two red octagons with double hooked outlines and a cruciform interior design of stems surrounding a central square, flowers, arrow motifs, small plants and two large tulips fill the frame of the yellow field. The vertical end points of the hexagons are accentuated by three white, straight-armed crosses. The six bottle-shaped tulips growing horizontally from the two primary designs and aligned towards the sides of the field are a typical feature of this rare Ladik group. The specific shade of blue seen in the main border, where rosettes are lined up on a pole, is an identifying feature of Ladik carpets. – Slight signs of age and wear, original selvedges, the two end finishes have been restored. Now in good condition.
