@article{2018,title={A GROUP OF 15.TH CENTURY SPANISH CARPETS SIMILAR TO TURKISH CARPETS},abstractNode={In this day and time, A group of 15.th century Spanish carpets known as Admiral carpets are found to be in private collections and museums mainly in The United States, Germany, England, and Spain. The carpets which owe their name to Admiral Enriquez family and carry their coat of arms, are amongst the oldest group of carpets in Spain that can be traced back.. These Admiral carpets bearing Middle Asian and Anatolian motifs together with Pagan, Jewish and Christian symbols, differ from the Spanish carpets of that time which were exact copies of Turkish carpets woven then. They have been ignored by other nationalities even though they were thought to be made in Mudejares style in colloboration of Muslim, Christian and Jewish weavers, and provide a great amount of evidence of the historical depression and the transition of civilisation and the universality of art. The aim of this study is to present the audience visually, the similarities in design of Middle Asian, Anatolian and Admiral carpets which despite their iconographic differences provide a mutual methaphoric representment. The analysis of the broad spectrum of motifs and the iconographic resolution will be evaluated in a different study.},author={Aslı AKSOY},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
