The auction report(Hali 172-113) for a Turkish rug sold at Christies on 24.42012 makes interesting reading.
The piece was first sold at Brunk`s on 12.9.2012.

Described by Brunk`s as"reduced in the center throughout the length of the rug"this is in all probability a divan carpet made in two halves.A similar item,once in the author`s possession,demonstrates this,having had an original finish on the right-hand side.

Sometimes the Enjilas border was simplified,removing the meander element:-

Why so many prayer rugs were made in two halves is a mystery.Perhaps larger looms were not available,or the weavers more often wove kilims.Here a well-known "piece"from Franz Sailer after a simple montage:

The Brunks/Christies example is at the end of a long continuum.Many of the "Transylvanian "carpets were probably woven in the Menderes valley area.Two types of Column rugs spring to mind,one with thick columns:-

The group stands directly before(or side-by-side)the classical Konya prayer rugs with columns-which May Beattie infelicitously described as "coupled-columns"

One member of the Thin Column group seems to be losing its Spandrels:-

Thus paving the way for the absolute Siebenbürger reduction act,prayer rugs without mihrabs or spandrels:-
