Vintage Turkish Prayer Rug, 2.5 x 4.8 ft, 76 x 145 cm, Handwoven Wool Mihrab Rug
$336.00 $420.00
This vintage Turkish prayer rug is a beautiful handwoven wool piece featuring a classic mihrab design in rich red, deep blue, ivory, and soft green tones. Approximately 60 years old, it reflects the enduring weaving traditions of Anatolia and carries the warmth and authenticity that only a handmade vintage textile can offer.
The defining feature of this rug is its mihrab composition, which is why this type of rug can be described to international buyers as a Turkish prayer rug. The mihrab is the arched niche seen in mosque architecture that indicates the direction of prayer. In traditional rug weaving, this form was adapted into a textile design, creating a symbolic prayer space within the rug. Because of this, mihrab rugs are among the most recognizable and collectible forms of Turkish weaving.
This example has a striking architectural layout, with slender columns framing the central arch and a hanging lamp motif suspended in the prayer field. Floral elements and decorative borders add visual richness, while the contrast between the red field and dark blue border gives the rug a strong, elegant presence.
Although originally woven for prayer, rugs like this are now widely appreciated as decorative and collectible pieces. Its narrow proportions make it ideal as a wall hanging, bedside rug, hallway accent, or as a special textile element in a layered bohemian or traditional interior.
As with all handmade vintage rugs, slight irregularities, gentle wear, and natural variations in color and weave are part of its character and authenticity.
