Traditionally Handmade Turkish rugs were created for very practical functions as area rugs, runner rugs, saddle bags for horses and camels, as warm blankets, as room dividers, and even as baby cradles. No one knows exactly when the technique of carpet and kilim weaving first appeared; however, the oldest surviving antique rug in the world is from the 5th century and made in the Turkish rug style of a double knot.Handmade Turkish rugs are made from five basic materials, consisting of sheep wool, goat hair, cotton, floss silk, and silk. Handmade rugs have been naturally dyed for thousands of years using vegetables, barko, roots, and other natural products. The color yellow usually comes from onion skin or saffron; browns are created from pine cones or dry tobacco leaves; blue emerges from indigo; reds arise from cochineal or madder root. Since the 19th century, synthetic dyes have also been used. Wool rugs are most common of Turkish rugs.The art of Turkish rug weaving continued and developed throughout Turkish history. Towards the end of the 14th century, Handmade rugs began to enter European homes, churches and castles. Travelers and merchants to the Middle East began bringing the handmade rugs home with them. In the 16th century "Classical Turkish (Ottoman) Rugs" emerged, in which the designs and colors on the rug were determined by palace artists and then sent to weaving centers. The designs of this time, which consisted of twisting branches, leaves, and flowers such as tulips, carnations and hyacinths, were woven in a naturalistic style and established the basic composition of the rug. This style can still be found in handmade Turkish rugs today.There are many different types of motifs and emblems which can be seen on Turkish rugs. They are usually either geometrical and stylized motifs or nature and floral designs. These compositions, motifs, and designs are not created at random. Instead they represent meaningful symbols. Some of the most common motifs on hand knotted rugs include the “Tree of Life” symbolizing long life and re-birth, the “Horns of Animals” symbolizing power, the “Hands on Hips” symbolizing female fertility and the mother of God, as well as the “Hanging Candle” symbolizing holy (eternal) light.The “eye motif” can be seen on the Turkish rugs opposite. It is believed that the best way to prevent harm from coming to one’s self is to ward it off with an “eye.” Woven into the carpets and rugs are traditional symbols that tell a story and have meaning. Different regions and designers utilize various motifs and symbols to create a handmade rug. Turkish rugs are usually named after the town or region where they are made, and each type is distinctive.One of most famous Turkish Rugs is Oushak Rug. Oushak rugs are Turkish rugs that use a particular family of designs, called by convention after the city of Oushak Turkey one of the larger towns in Western Anatolia which was a major center of rug production from the early days of the Ottoman Empire into the early 20th century (although these patterns were woven in other regions also). Historically Oushak rugs were classified as ‘Anatolian Rugs’ Anatolian literally translating to ‘land of the rising sun.’ Today scholars know much more about Oushaks and are able to classify them as such. ‘Anatolian’ is used as a last resort when a more specific identification cannot be found; at which point ‘Anatolian’ refers to a rug made in Turkey.Today, Turkish rugs serve not only practical functions as floor or wall coverings to keep out the cold, but handmade rugs are also used as prayer rugs by Muslims. Handwoven rugs are also often traditionally a part of wedding and funeral ceremonies. The floors of mosques are often covered by handmade rugs and in Turkey there is a tradition of donating Turkish rugs to mosques. Also, Turkish rugs are good option as housewarming gift.CARE :Keeping a handmade rug clean is most easily and best done on a regular basis. Firmly brushing a wool or cotton rug with a stiff broom or using an electric vacuum cleaner are the most straightforward ways to maintain your hand knotted treasure. How frequently a handmade rug needs to be cleaned is completely dependent on how much it is used, its location, and its color (lighter colors show dirt a ibt more quickly).Things to avoid :Washing machinesDryersVibrationExtremely high water temperatureHarsh chemical detergents (such as dry-cleaning chemicals)Electric rotary brushes (only meant for machine-woven carpets)Soaking the rugHow to clean up a spill:First step in cleaning vintage rug a spill should be to soak up as much liquid as possible by pressing a clean cloth over the spill, both from front and back of the rug. If there is no remaining stain, the handmade rug can be dried using a hand-held hair dryer. Other common spills may be cleaned as follows:Red Wine – After absorbing as much liquid as possible, wipe spot with white wine vinegar, and then with water.Mud – Allow to dry and then vacuum or brush out.Pet Urine – Absorb as much liquid as possible, wipe with sponge and let dry. Then clean with white vinegar.
