Description : An Ottoman Cairene long carpet Cairo, Egypt second half 16th century size approximately 11ft. 9in. x 21ft. 6in. FOOTNOTES In the second half of the 16th century and through the 1st half of the 17th, the carpet workshops in Cairo wove pieces, often very large, for the Turkish and export markets. This example follows the classic field cover design of leafy, curvilinear forms with a superimposed round central medallion and matching quarter circle corners, all on a grass green ground with secondary tones in light scarlet, dark blue, red and ivory. The S spin and Z ply of the foundation and pile yarn is an Egyptian oddity, opposite to the usual Z spin and S ply of other comparable oriental rugs. It is observed in late antique and early Islamic Coptic and related textiles from Egypt. The border of lotus palmettes and rosettes bracketed with saz leaves is also classic for this type of carpet. A few of the finest examples (around 200 knots/square inch) have red silk wefts. The structure of this carpet is more frequently encountered within the all wool types.
