Vintage Turkish Prayer Rug, 3.3 x 5.2 ft, 100 x 160 cm, Handwoven Wool Mihrab Rug
$472.00 $590.00
This vintage Turkish prayer rug is a beautifully handwoven wool textile featuring a clearly defined mihrab composition, a warm red prayer field, and richly decorated floral borders in brown, ivory, mustard yellow, and muted earthy tones. Approximately 60 years old, it reflects the traditional village-weaving heritage of Anatolia and carries the distinctive character of an authentic handmade rug.
For international buyers, this type of rug is known as a Turkish prayer rug or seccade. The word mihrab refers to the recessed niche in a mosque wall that indicates the direction of prayer. Anatolian weavers adapted this architectural form into rug designs, usually representing it as a pointed, stepped, or arched niche that symbolically defines the personal prayer space.
The central design of this piece features a layered mihrab surrounded by finely arranged floral and geometric motifs. The broad brown border is decorated with repeating stylized flowers, while the red and ivory inner sections add depth and visual rhythm. Its aged palette and detailed composition give the rug a warm, traditional, and highly collectible appearance.
Although originally woven for personal prayer, vintage mihrab rugs are also appreciated today as decorative textile art. This piece can be used as a small area rug, bedside rug, hallway accent, wall hanging, or distinctive focal point in a traditional, rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interior.
Natural variations in the weave, gentle wear, subtle color changes, and handmade irregularities are part of the rug’s authentic vintage character.
