About the Item

Serene Beauty: Authentic Antique Turkish Kayseri Prayer Rug Discover the refined elegance of this handmade antique Turkish Kayseri prayer rug, a masterpiece woven from 100% natural wool in Turkey around the 1920s. Kayseri rugs are highly esteemed for their exceptionally fine knotting, lustrous wool, and sophisticated floral designs, often featuring the distinctive prayer niche (mihrab). This exquisite piece is in good condition, retaining its intricate details and serene color palette, ready to bring a sense of tranquility and historical charm to your space. Elegant Mihrab & Delicate Floral Accents This captivating Kayseri rug is presented in the classic prayer rug format, dominated by a graceful mihrab (prayer arch) design. The field within the mihrab is a calming olive/sage green, providing a serene backdrop that highlights the surrounding artistry. The spandrels (areas above the arch) and the multiple, ornate borders are richly adorned with an intricate array of delicate floral motifs, including graceful palmettes, blossoming rosettes, and meandering vines, rendered in harmonious shades of soft rose, muted blues, warm creams, and earthy browns. The meticulously hand-knotted pile is dense and even, offering a soft underfoot feel. The complex layering of borders, each with its own complementary floral or geometric pattern, demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with Kayseri weaving. Luxurious Wool & Preserved Condition Crafted with generations of traditional skill, this wool rug is a testament to enduring quality and artistry. Its good condition for an antique piece from the 1920s speaks volumes about its durability and the care it has received. The natural dyes have matured beautifully, lending the rug an authentic antique patina that enhances its subtle beauty. A Timeless Heirloom for Refined Interiors Measuring approximately 4 feet 3 inches by 2 feet 9 inches (130 cm x 90 cm), this antique Turkish Kayseri prayer rug is perfectly sized as an elegant accent rug in an entryway, a sacred space, a study, or as a sophisticated decorative wall hanging. Its serene colors, classical floral design, and spiritual symbolism make it an ideal complement for traditional, classical, Mediterranean, or even minimalist interiors seeking a touch of historical depth and tranquility. This rug is more than a decorative item; it is a unique piece of textile history and a work of art to be cherished.
