Lotto rugs photo gallery and guide - Explore Lotto carpets

Lotto rugs, named after the Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto, are a distinctive category of Anatolian carpets that frequently appear in 16th-century European paintings. Produced primarily during the 16th and 17th centuries along the Aegean coast of Anatolia, these rugs are known for their intricate latticework patterns, often associated with the Ushak region.

The Lotto Rugs Photo Gallery includes examples such as a late 16th-century rug attributed to Ushak, a 17th-century carpet fragment measuring 105 x 125 cm, and a mid-17th-century Ushak “Lotto” carpet. These pieces highlight the enduring legacy and artistic significance of Lotto rugs in the history of textile art.
