Ionescu, Stefano et al.: Antique Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania, Deluxe Edition

Rome 2005 (2007)

317 color plates 85 black and white 1 map 240 pp. 9.5 x 13.5 Hardback in slipcase in New condition.

Deluxe revised second English edition. Winner of the Romanian Academy's 2008 Oprescu Prize for Art History. Limited to 40. Today Transylvania continues to be the repository of the richest and best preserved corpus of Turkish carpets outside the Islamic world. Among them are almost four hundred examples attributable to the golden period of Ottoman weaving from the mid 15th to the second half 18th century. They include many of the classic types such as 'Holbeins', Ushaks, 'Lottos' and Selendis as well as 'Transylvanians'. It is the aim of this book to present a thorough and detailed review of the historical and material evidence, and to provide soundly-based answers to the question of both the origin of the carpets and the reasons for their survival. The second edition, revised and expanded, was published on the occasion of ICOC 2007. It is the final work on 'Transylvanian' carpets which shows color plates and technical analysis of 300 Ottoman Rugs of the 15th-18th centuries in the Protestant Churches of Transylvania and the Museums of Romania, Hungary and Germany. The work has also inspired the 2007 exhibition ' Anatolian Rugs in Transylvanian Churches 1500-1750' at the Sakip Sabanci Museum in Istanbul; the 2006 exhibition 'Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania' at the Museum für Islamische Kunst, Berlin; and 'Anatolian rugs from Transylvania 16th-18th Centuries' at the Romanian Academy in Rome in 2005.
