TURKISH RUGS
ARE MADE IN
s TYPES
Finest Qualities Not All Woven
by Natives OF East Indies
and Persia

There are six types Of Asia Minor
rugs which have made Turkey
worthy Of being known as q center
for weaving. In the past II has
been the custom to give all credit
to Persia, the Caucasus and India
for the finest and most artistic rugs
that have come out Of the Orient.
While this Is in some sqnse true,
they have entirely overlooked many
Of the finest Turkish products.
The notable Turkish products are
the Bergamo, Koula, Ladik, Konieh,
Oushak and the Ghiordes, principal
ly prayer designs.
Combining ourselves to the
Ghiordes it may be said that this
specimen contains the most artistic
expression of Turkish weaving.
They take their name from the old
town Of Ghiordes, situated about
sixty miles northeast. OF Smyrna. .
These rugs, with the exception OF
those known as ''Kis Ghiordes.
are woven by men.
A typical design Of these textiles
is described as followss ANTIQUE
Ghiordes prayer rugs, mosque de.
sign, with columns and pendant
floral lamp, relieved on solid ground
Of rare Egyptian red, surmounted
by arabesues In white on dark
turquoise framed in contrasting
borders" Another is pictured as
"a flake Of solid sapphire crested
by floral designs 10 ruby on ground
OF white opal. The mosaic and
blossom borders are tonedhto per-
feet harmony"
There are three types Of Ghiordes
rugs specially worthy OF mention.
First, those of Nomadic origin.
made in the country districts and
rather coarse In weave. averaging
so to 80 knots to the square inch.
In the center Of these rugs may
be noticed a mihrab, or prayer
niche, generally in solid colors, blue,
red, white or green, and usually
with a lamp suspended from the
top, representing the light Of i'm
mortality"
Sometimes, however, this lamp Is
omitted. The center panel contain
ing the mihrab, or prayer arch, is
often surrounded by three or four
inside narrow stripes, then one
wide central border and three or
four narrow borders again on the
outside. 1t is uncommon to find a
Ghiordes rug with an inscription.
Ghiordes rugs of the second type
are woven in the cities and towns.
They show most beautiful drawing
in fine floral. leaf and vine
effects.
Their color schemes are master.
full in the highest degree, the en-
bodiment of grace culture and re-
finement. Filled with mysticism,
symbolism, tradition and artistic
feeling, they make a mute appeal
to every person Of discernment as
examples of unfading charm. This
type is the finest in weave, con-
tanning from 100 to $50 knots to
the square inch.
The derviShes selected the
Ghiordes rug to represent their
four different colors, which give
them a strong religious significance
These occur in the following order:
Deep blue. indicating the Order Of
the Refayah dervishes; deep red.
