Description

Early Yellow Ground Mudjur Prayer Rug
160 x 121 cm (5' 3" x 4')
Turkey, ca. 1800
Condition: good according to age, mostly good pile, corroded dark brown, scattered small repairs in the yellow field, lower end partially slightly incomplete
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool

'Everyone knows what a happy carpet is', William Robinson recently stated in a lecture about colours in Safavid Kerman Vase carpets. This is certainly true for this classic Mudjur example. It is lively with a great array of colours and a huge amount of aubergine which one always loves in Anatolian carpets.
The branches of a shrub in the centre, in some examples of the type can feel a bit misplaced but here due to their multicoloured ness connecting the field successfully with the traditional border systems.
The stem of the shrub is happily rainbow coloured as are the spandrels above the mihrab. Even the tips of the arrow shaped leaves are accentuated by a single knot in a different colour which makes one think that it was a happy weaver as well.
A row of carnations encircles the field as we know them from earlier so-called 'Transylvanian' carpets in a more naturalistic style. The panel above the field also stems from 'Transylvanian' and even earlier ottoman examples and one needs to look back to recognise the tulips heading towards the top.
As these carpets are woven upside down to the direction of the design one is not surprised to see halved border cartouches at one end a feature which is shared with all 'Transylvanians' where often not a single successful corner solution is found.
