Antique Melas Turkish Prayer Rug

About the Item

This is admittedly a collector’s piece, for a connoisseur. Melas rugs became known and appreciated in Europe as early as 1700, though its history of weaving goes back at least several centuries prior. Earlier pieces such as this ( as opposed to late 19th century examples ) when very rarely seen show wider outer borders, and a somewhat less formal appearance, revealing tribal influences. The inner field has been the subject of an inferior repair which can be fully restored by arrangement, in Istanbul, by experts for a fairly modest additional cost. Those interested in this important piece ought to consult the definitive Encyclopedia of Antique Carpets ( Moheban ) vol 2 page 380 for indications of pricing for later, and excellent, though less important examples.

Located in WYNNUM, QLD

Turkomen carpets of this size and quality have been continually in demand but very difficult to acquire.
