STAR USHAK ~3~

It is generally held that the Star Ushak carpets were produced between the 15th and 17th centuries in the Ushak region of Central Anatolia. This carpet design appears in many Renaissance and Mannerist paintings. The earliest known Western painting that shows the carpet pattern is "The Ring of the Doge" by Paris Bordone (1534, The Accademia, Venice).
