Antique White Ground Anatolian Tulu Prayer Rug
About the Item
The overall composition of this niche design rug relates it to a group of white ground central Anatolian prayer rugs, mostly woven with more traditional motifs. The primitive nature of the drawing imparts here a cave-like appearance to the niche. The use of silky Angora mohair wool (filik in Turkish) is characteristic of the most precious Tulus.

Knot: symmetrical, weaving direction adjacent to niche, no warp depression
Knot count: 4H x 3V = 12 knots/square inch
Selvages: three sets of paired warps Ends: weft-faced plain weave; top with corded fringes
Colours: ivory, maroon (corrosive), light green, red, grey blue, camel, orange (7)
