About the Item

Historical Value and Rarity: With a history spanning approximately 150-170 years, this prayer rug is one of the rare pieces that has survived from the Bergama region's deep-rooted carpet-making heritage. Bearing traces of history in every knot, this work represents a unique opportunity for collectors and art lovers. Authentic Bergama Motifs: The characteristic stylized geometric and floral motifs of Bergama carpets are masterfully crafted on a background dominated by vibrant red tones. The prayer rug's mihrab pattern and the repetitive figures on the border, in particular, reveal the richness of the period's weaving art. The Pinnacle of Craftsmanship: Entirely hand-woven using high-quality wool, this rug offers a depth and character unmatched in today's mass-produced carpets. The patience and care behind each knot are clearly evident in the intricate texture and pattern. A Timeless Work of Art: This prayer rug is much more than a decorative element; it is a work of art to be walked upon. It will add a touch of sophistication to any corner of your home, bringing warmth, history, and a unique atmosphere to your room. Investment Value: Antique carpets are valuable investments that maintain and even increase in value over time. This Bergama prayer rug is a valuable legacy, both artistically and financially.
