Summary/Abstract: This article presents some considerations on a cultural asset of particular value from the National Museum of Transylvanian History collection, namely a single‑niche “Transylvanian” rug, from West Anatolia dating from the first half of the seventeenth century, along with its replica. The latter was made in Sultanhanı (Republic of Türkiye) between 2021 and 2022, and was donated to the museum in Cluj by Stefano Ionescu, a renowned specialist in Anatolian carpets, based in Rome.
