An overview of classical ottoman art of fabric
Main Article Content
Abstract
Seljuk Turks who began to settle in Anatolia since 11th century showed a great improvement in this area by combining the weaving tradition that they carried from Central Asia, Transoxiana, Khwarezm and Iran with the savings in Anatolia (Ülgen, 1996). Turkish fabrics began to get their most characteristic motifs and a thin and a perfect weaving technique just to the end of 15th century. Reaching its highest level in 16thcentury, our fabric weaving technique improved after such a long development cycle (Süslü, 1976).All the arts had their golden age during the classical Ottoman Period. It is also the most magnificent age for 16th century Turkish fabric art. It has been effective in the selection of topic that fabrics wear out in time and design schemas on them face the danger of evanescence because of their raw materials.In this research, relevant resources have been searched and fabric figure drawings were drawn by taking photos from the museums that have classical Ottoman Period fabrics. The weaving centers, raw materials, colors and figures of classical Ottoman Period fabrics have been established and has set out the importance of the Classical Ottoman fabric art.
