Seljuk carpets photo gallery - Discover Seljuk rugs

The Seljuks, who ruled Central Asia and the Middle East from the 11th to 13th centuries, were instrumental in the development of Anatolian rug-making traditions. Few carpets and fragments from the Seljuk period have survived, and those that remain are highly valued for their historical and artistic significance.

The Seljuk Carpets Photo Gallery includes notable examples such as a 13th-century Anatolian Seljuk carpet fragment from Konya, which was discovered in the Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad Mosque, and a Seljuk fragment from the David Collection. These pieces offer a glimpse into the intricate designs and cultural richness of the Seljuk era.
