Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum
Usak, a medium-sized market town in Western Anatolia, had been a major center of Anatolian commercial carpet weaving for almost half a millennium. In the 15th century, Usak was a major site during the Carpet Design Revolution, when curvilinear designs from media such as miniature painting and book illumination began to influence the older geometric design tradition of the Middle East. Usak carpets of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were made in many formats and used designs composed of many different motifs: among the most well-known are the large Usak ogival-medallion carpets, the so-called “Start Usak” carpets with deeply-serrated eight-pointed medallions: white-ground “Bird Usak” carpets with a design of three circles and two wavy lines, an ancient symbol of Buddhist origin that under the Ottoman became a symbol of good luck and masculinity, Saff Usak carpets made especially for mosques, with a design of row upon row of individualized niche-like compartments; and many other designs and layouts. The Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum collections include hundreds of Usak carpets, and form the best vantage point in the world for the study of this important and creative carpet production.
