About the Item

51729 Distressed Vintage Anatolian Kirsehir Prayer Rug with Graveyard Marker Design and Spanish Revival Mission Style 02'07 x 08'07 From Esmaili Rugs Collection. This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner features pictorial design with repeated mosque motifs along the center of an abrashed red field. Sometimes called a landscape carpet or cemetery carpet, the design of mosques or houses with trees was once thought to illustrate an Islamic cemetery. The format of this particular Oushak runner is suggestive of a prayer rug design, though the traditional mihrab arch is omitted. The open inside border on each end curls inward, while large floral motifs reminiscent of lamps, a common feature of prayer rugs, are suspended in the opening. Additional lamp-like motifs hang in the niches created by the curling border. This main open border features an angular meander motif with calyxes and carnations, while small trefoil blooms spring forth from its edges on both sides. A simple trefoil meander outer border mimics the small blooms used throughout the composition. With its unique design, warm colors, and just the right amount of age-wear, this handsome vintage Turkish Oushak runner would enliven any space. Rendered in variegated shades of ruby red, scarlet red, brick red, burgundy saffron yellow, gold, orange, tangerine, ivory, cream, beige, oyster gray, gray, stone gray, slate, greige, taupe, chocolate, sienna, umber and coffee. Perfect for a hall or entry, kitchen, hallway, corridor, living room, bedroom, bathroom, library, den, mudroom, study, office, sitting room, foyer and entryway.
