According to information obtained from written sources, weaving is an art form that has continued to be important among the Turks from Central Asia to the present day. These weavings have developed and spread throughout all Turkish societies over time. Within Turkish weaving art, the carpet, which belongs to the group of pile-woven textiles, was first woven by the Turks living in Central Asia and introduced to the whole world. The art of carpet weaving spread from east to west, particularly during the Seljuk period, starting from the 11th century, and at the same time served as a means of expressing people's emotions. It is evident that figurative influences have manifested themselves in Uyghur wall paintings and reached their peak in Ottoman period miniatures over time. It is noteworthy that figurative decorations are approached from a design perspective by the plastic arts and are used in many areas such as carpets, walls, and ceramic surfaces. In this context, the wall carpets evaluated in the scope of the research display an effective design, color, and composition. This research aims to introduce wall carpets, which have continued to exist in Turkish culture from the past to the present, and to conduct their pictorial analysis. This study employed a qualitative research method. In the first phase of the study, a literature review was conducted to examine all sources related to carpet and painting art, and a conceptual framework was developed based on the information obtained from these sources. In the next phase, pictorial analyses of the wall carpets included in the scope of the research were performed, and all data were compiled to reach a conclusion.
