About the Item

51736 Antique Turkish Oushak Prayer Rug, 02'08 x 04'01. A sacred fragment of Anatolian devotion, this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Oushak prayer rug unfolds like a whispered prayer from centuries past. At its heart lies a radiant red mihrab—a directional arch guiding the faithful toward Mecca—with stepped sides that rise like a mountain silhouette, rooted in earth yet reaching for the divine. Anchored within this field is a glowing diamond-shaped prayer niche, delicately filled with small rosette-like forms, each symbolizing spiritual blossoming and the soul’s journey toward illumination. The corner spandrels frame the mihrab like twilight clouds surrounding a sunset sky. These corners are sprinkled with a gridded lattice of stylized floral bursts—hyacinths, carnations, and rosettes—echoing the garden paradise motif common in Ottoman court designs. Flanking the mihrab are a pair of elegant, twisted columns, their architectural presence grounding the composition and conjuring the illusion of sacred portals—perhaps inspired by mosque interiors or the colonnaded courtyards of classical antiquity. The border surrounding this hallowed composition is a charming ode to earthly abundance. Petal-shaped motifs with alternating rosettes unfurl across a faded yellow ground, encapsulated within subtle inner and outer framing lines that lend a sense of sanctuary to the entire piece. These elements speak to a weaver’s intention to mirror the sacred geometry and floral ornamentation of paradise gardens—offering protection, fertility, and serenity in each looped knot of wool. Worn with grace, this antique Turkish Oushak prayer rug is not just a textile but a vessel of time—a woven sanctuary once placed beneath feet and folded hands. Its abrash and gentle patina whisper of countless devotions, of still mornings and flickering candlelight. Whether displayed as a wall-hung relic of heritage or placed gently in an intimate setting, it carries the timeless aura of spiritual poise and Anatolian artistry, where form and faith are tenderly entwined. Abrash. Age Wear. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 02'08 x 04'01. Date: 1930's. Early 20th Century.
