Vintage Turkish Prayer Rug, 3 x 4.8 ft, 90 x 145 cm, Handwoven Wool Mihrab Rug

This vintage Turkish prayer rug is a beautifully handwoven wool piece with a soft rose-toned field, a delicate central medallion, and a balanced border design in muted ivory, blue, and earthy red tones. Its gentle color palette and timeworn character give it a warm, elegant presence that works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors.

Approximately 60 years old, this rug reflects the rich weaving heritage of Turkey and the enduring beauty of Anatolian craftsmanship. The wool texture, subtle abrash, and naturally aged surface all add to its authentic vintage charm.

This type of rug is known as a mihrab rug or Turkish prayer rug, and in Turkey it is often called a seccade. The word mihrab refers to the prayer niche in a mosque that indicates the direction of prayer. In woven form, this design tradition was adapted into small personal rugs used for prayer. For international buyers, these pieces are often recognized as prayer rugs, but they are also highly appreciated today as collectible examples of Anatolian folk art and decorative textiles.

Even when used decoratively, a seccade carries a strong sense of history and symbolism. Its intimate scale and traditional composition make it ideal as a statement accent in a living room, bedroom, entryway, reading corner, or as a wall hanging.

Because this is a genuine vintage rug, small irregularities, light wear, and variations in tone are part of its authenticity and should be appreciated as signs of age and handmade character.
