Anatolian Rug (Bellini Carpet)

The source of carpet comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.159. The field drawing is gardens with a pond designed 16th-century rug from Konya, Central Anatolia area, Turkey. It’s the so-called ‘Bellini Carpet‘ due to the similarity of the rug design of Italian master Gentile Bellini’s depiction in his painting. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this rug is interpreted and our designers choose soft colors for this rug.
