Lecture at the Turkish Cultural Foundation: Istanbul, March 16th
Tracing the Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania
Transylvania continues to be the repository of the richest and best preserved corpus of small-format Turkish rugs outside the Islamic world. Almost 400 examples from late 15th to mid 18th century, including the golden period of the Ottoman production, still survive in the area. On the top, almost 200 examples, which are today in European and American collections can be traced back to Transylvania
