Vintage Turkish Prayer Rug, 3.3 x 6.6 ft, 102 x 200 cm, Handwoven Wool Mihrab Rug

This vintage Turkish prayer rug is a striking handwoven wool textile featuring an elongated geometric composition in deep crimson red, black, ivory, brown, and muted orange tones. Three traditional diamond-shaped motifs form a rhythmic central arrangement, while multiple patterned borders create a strong architectural frame.

Approximately 60 years old, this rug reflects the bold visual language of Anatolian village weaving. Its long, narrow proportions and graphic design make it particularly suitable as a hallway rug, bedside accent, wall hanging, or distinctive decorative textile.

For international buyers, this type of rug can be described as a Turkish prayer rug, mihrab rug, or seccade. In Turkey, the word seccade refers to a personal rug traditionally used for prayer. A mihrab is the prayer niche in a mosque that indicates the direction of prayer. Anatolian weavers interpreted this concept in many ways: some rugs feature a clearly pointed arch, while others use elongated fields, directional geometry, or symbolic medallions to represent the traditional prayer-rug composition.

In this piece, the mihrab tradition is expressed through its vertical layout, enclosed central field, and repeated geometric motifs. The surrounding borders contain small stylized forms that add movement and folk-art character to the design.

Although originally associated with devotional use, vintage seccade rugs are now also appreciated as collectible works of textile art. This piece would complement bohemian, rustic, tribal, eclectic, or traditional interiors.

Natural wear, subtle irregularities, color variation, and handmade details are part of its authentic vintage character.
