Summary

Description
English: Cairene Ottoman cruciform table carpet, Egypt, mid 16th century. Asymmetrically knotted wool pile on a wool foundation, 2.52 x 2.30 m (8′ 3″ x 7’7″). Museo Civico, San Gimignano. San Gimignano is a small Tuscan town whose name immediately calls to mind the famous cruciform table carpet made in Egypt around the middle of the 16th century. Published many times, this carpet, in the form of the Greek cross, bears the coat-of-arms of the person who commissioned it, but he remains unidentified. The history of the carpet, including the date of its arrival in San Gimignano, is a mystery; but the ties between San Gimignano and eastern carpets have a tradition that goes back many centuries.
