Ottoman Court Carpet late 16th-17th century This splendid carpet, with feathery leaves, stylized lotus flowers, and tightly curled cloudband scrolls, displays characteristics associated with a group of carpets of debated provenance. While the wool and weaving methods of this group are akin to carpets woven in Egypt, their designs probably were produced in Istanbul. Documents reveal that on at least one occasion in 1585, the Ottoman sultan Murad III requested that a number of Cairene weavers, along with a quantity of Egyptian wool, be brought to the court in Istanbul. Such interactions may explain the unexpected combination of materials, technique, and design found in these carpets. Listen to experts illuminate this artwork's story Listen Play or pause #6648.
