#30 Ghiordes Circa 1730 230x145cms. Condition is
even wear, flexible not brittle, no problems. A
workshop product from the royal stream of weaving (as opposed to tribal or
village, nomadic or peasant rugs) showing the highly florid Ottoman Court
style of the time. Look at the orange and pink together! Realistic
flora imitating the royal gardeners’ formal landscapes include
carnations, tulips, and hyacinths. So
influential on the western mind was this court style of weaving that the
symmetrical knot became known in English as the “Ghiordes Knot” and a
separate Orientalist School grew from this period. |
