The Ararat Rugs Dragon Rug, a museum revival carpet from the Antique Caucasus collection, draws its inspiration from the renowned Cassirer dragon rug, documented in *Caucasian Carpets* by E. Gans-Reudin (1986, pg. 37) and detailed in May U. Beattie’s *The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection of Oriental Rugs*. Measuring 327 cm by 222 cm, this hand-knotted wool piece reinterprets a historic design with a lattice of elongated and squat lozenges linked by palmettes, rosettes, and floral arrangements, reflecting the intricate artistry of Islamic rugs from the Mamluk family.
Dragons in blue, ivory, and red adorn the central row of lozenges and the blue-black bands, surrounded by delicate floral stems in a palette of six natural-dyed colors: dark brown (sheep’s color), imperial red (madder root), natural wool (specially washed), sunray (henna), green-blue (spurge, madder root, indigo), and pine tree (henna, indigo). The deeply notched border, a rare design rarely replicated, features a light blue hexagonal flower on an ivory path, with red, black, and yellow floral accents framed by yellow zigzag guard bands with red flower buds.
Hand-woven in Southeastern Anatolia, Adiyaman, Turkey, in 2023, this carpet uses symmetrical knots on a depressed warp, achieving a density of 39×39 knots. Crafted with natural-dyed hand-spun wool on a wool warp and weft, it showcases exceptional skill, blending historical authenticity with modern craftsmanship for a timeless decor piece.
