Üretim
Sold (with silk brocade T.52-1920) for £21.10. by Harold Wallis Esq., St. Albans, Godstone Road, Purley, from his father's estate and already on loan. "Woollen Rug, Asia Minor; 16th century". "A 16th/17th century Turkish carpet thought to have been woven in Ushak. The strong red and blue colouring is reminiscent of the colours used in the Star and Medallion Ushaks displayed to the left and the cloud bands and stylised rosettes in the main border are similar to those in the Bird Ushak carpet displayed below. The undecorated field relies on the intensity of its colour for visual impact." Illustration and comment "Turkish Carpets in the V & A" by M. Franses and R Pinner (intro by Donald King), analyses by S. Jarman. Hali 1984, Vol. 6, No. 4, p.354, 373, 374, 375, 380.
