About the Item

Hand knotted with wool originating from Turkey between 1880-1890, this antique rug hails from the Ghiordes region of former Anatolia, renowned among Classic and traditional rug families for a history of craftsmanship. Employing the celebrated mihrab pattern in its central field, the play of the rich beige-brown with the distinct black background has a quiet regality, complemented both by the intricacy and the meticulous burgundy red floral coloration for a quiet but regal sense of movement and depth few pieces of this size boast; enjoying pristine condition for its age. Sometimes called the Niche design, the marriage of Mihrab patterns with small-size rugs is a celebrated staple of some of the most sought-after Anatolian rugs, each variation of the pattern subtly individualistic spare for a variety of iconic, conversational design elemental like those of this idyllic rug. Connoisseurs will note the slight allusion to pomegranate imagery at the top of the Mihrab pattern, a unique symbol more popular among Khotan Samarkand pieces of the era thought to symbolize abundance, fertility, and rejuvenate themes befitting the subtext of this piece.
