‘Transylvanian Rugs’ a Highly Successful Anatolian Group, conference held by Stefano Ionescu

Stefano Ionescu was born in 1951 in Timişoara, at the border of Transylvania, graduated in Bucharest and lives in Rome since 1975. As an independent scholar on Oriental carpets, he has dedicated almost twenty years to the study of the Anatolian rugs, starting with those which survived in Transylvania. This region continues to be the repository of the richest and best-preserved corpus of small Turkish carpets outside the Islamic world: nearly four hundred examples attributable to the golden period of Ottoman weaving, from the 16th to 18th cent.: ‘Holbein’, ‘Ushak’, ‘Lotto’, Selendi and a wealth of so-called ‘Transylvanian’ rugs.

In order to prove the Anatolian origin and to explain the presence of these rugs in Transylvania, Stefano Ionescu published a comprehensive study, Antique Ottoman Rugs in Transylvania, with the entire collection of the Black Church, together with the most important examples from the Churches and Museums inside and outside Romania. The book was awarded the Romanian Academy Prise in the History of Art, which is a very rare event in the rug literature. As a distinct project the author is producing in Sultanhanı high quality Replicas of the originals in Transylvania, employing hand carded and hand spun wool, natural dyes and traditional technique.

 

The conference will be held in English without translation. No reservation required.
