About the Item

A rare and highly desirable Antique Transylvanian Prayer Rug from Central Anatolia, 19th century, showcasing a refined palette of ivory, deep red, beige, and blue. The composition is centered around a classic prayer niche flanked by two elegant columns, all enclosed within a magnificent ivory border that highlights the design with striking clarity. This piece exemplifies the refined artistry and spiritual symbolism characteristic of Transylvanian prayer rugs, prized both for their aesthetic beauty and historical significance. The harmonious color balance, combined with its intricate weaving, makes this carpet an outstanding example of its type. Remarkably well-preserved for its age, the rug remains in very good condition, a testament to its careful stewardship over generations. It comes from the distinguished former collection of Adil Besim, Vienna (Austria), adding to its provenance and desirability. A true collector’s dream, this antique prayer rug offers both cultural depth and timeless beauty, making it a perfect acquisition for connoisseurs of fine Oriental carpets.
