About the Item

Handwoven Turkish prayer rug from the early 20th century, originating from the Anatolian region. Crafted in wool on wool foundation, the rug features a central mihrab design, traditionally used to indicate the direction of Mecca during Islamic prayer. The composition includes stylized floral and geometric motifs in deep blue, red, and soft yellow tones. The rug measures approximately 103 cm x 144 cm (40" x 57"), making it suitable for personal devotional use or as a decorative textile. The borders are framed with repeating traditional patterns, and the field displays balanced symmetry typical of Anatolian weaving traditions. Signs of age and wear are present, including minor fading and abrash, consistent with its vintage character. No major repairs or structural damage. This piece reflects the cultural and spiritual significance of Turkish prayer rugs and the craftsmanship of regional artisans.
