78777 Vintage Turkish Silk Kayseri Tree of Life Prayer Rug, 02'09 x 04'02. In the enchanting realm of Turkish craftsmanship, the Kayseri Tree of Life rugs emerge as radiant treasures, known also as Islamic Sajdah prayer mats. Woven with delicate silk threads, these magical creations enchant with intricate designs, featuring the revered Tree of Life motif symbolizing the interconnectedness of existence. Originating from the storied looms of the Kayseri region, these Turkish rugs are not merely utilitarian, but sacred artifacts crafted for the devout purpose of Islamic prayer, offering a serene and luxurious surface for contemplation and devotion. Admired for their exquisite beauty and steeped in cultural significance, these rugs weave together spirituality and artistry, inviting worshippers into a realm where the divine meets the earthly in a harmonious dance of threads and tradition.
Nestled within the ancient looms of Turkish artisans, this hand knotted silk vintage masterpiece unveils the timeless allure of the Kayseri Tree of Life prayer rug, a testament to centuries of skilled craftsmanship. Its teal canvas serves as a tranquil oasis, inviting the soul to embark on a journey of prayer and reflection. At its heart lies the mihrab, a graceful ogival niche often hailed as the Sultan's head, guiding worshippers towards spiritual alignment. Yet, it's not merely the mihrab that captivates, but the intricate scroll spandrels that dance at the rug's corners, whispering tales of mystery and wonder.
Embroidered with threads of enchantment, the Tree of Life ascends majestically from earth to sky, its branches adorned with avian messengers and the mystical Phoenix, weaving a tapestry of celestial splendor. Each bloom and leaf pulsates with life, a testament to the interconnectedness of all existence. Encircling this divine tableau, a border of blooming lotuses and graceful birds offers sanctuary, while inner and outer botanical meanders stand guard, a testament to nature's eternal embrace. Against this verdant tapestry, crimson and ivory barber pole stripes dance, encircling the composition like a vibrant crown, bestowing upon it a regal allure befitting its sacred purpose.
As fingers trace the silk threads, one cannot help but feel transported to a realm where time dances to the rhythm of prayer, where art and spirituality intertwine in a mesmerizing ballet. In this enchanted space, the Kayseri Tree of Life rug transcends its physical form, becoming a portal to the divine, a sanctuary for the soul seeking solace and communion with the eternal.

Located in Dallas, TX
79160 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug, 03'04 x 05'03. This hand-knotted vintage Turkish silk Hereke rug unveils a vivid pictorial scene, a magnificent Garden of Paradise woven into its very fibers. The Hereke rug's design is a lush tableau, where nature thrives in every corner. At the heart of the composition lies the revered Tree of Life, its roots deep in the earth, its branches reaching to the heavens, surrounded by an array of life in motion—birds, animals, and blossoms—all painted with the delicate brushstrokes of silk. The rich pinks, reds, and soft golds of the field create an ethereal glow, as though the garden itself has been bathed in the first rays of dawn.
Each section of the rug feels like a living scene from an ancient fable, where the earth is fertile and alive with movement. In the foreground, gracefully depicted deer and rabbits wander among the trees, their soft fur and gentle presence inviting peace and tranquility. In the background, birds with their vibrant plumage take flight, filling the scene with a sense of freedom and vitality. The interplay of nature’s creatures—feline and winged, terrestrial and celestial—speaks to the balance of life, captured in the woven artistry of Turkish silk.
The elegant design weaves seamlessly into the Tree of Life motif, a symbol of eternal growth and renewal, revered across cultures for its deep spiritual meaning. The trees bloom with abundant blossoms, their pink flowers echoing the natural beauty surrounding them. With each knot, this Hereke rug conjures the timeless beauty of the garden as a reflection of paradise...
