Vintage Turkish Prayer Rug, 3.4 x 4.9 ft, 105 x 150 cm, Handwoven Anatolian Wool Rug

This vintage Turkish prayer rug is a richly detailed handwoven wool textile featuring a striking geometric composition in deep navy blue, burgundy red, warm brown, ivory, mustard yellow, green, and muted multicolor accents. Its central medallion, pointed architectural form, and layered decorative borders create a balanced and expressive Anatolian design.

Approximately 60 years old, this rug reflects the traditional craftsmanship of Turkish village weaving. Its dense pattern, handmade texture, subtle asymmetry, and naturally softened colors give it an authentic vintage character that cannot be reproduced by modern machine-made rugs.

For international buyers, this type of rug is commonly described as a Turkish prayer rug, mihrab rug, or seccade. In Turkey, a seccade is a personal rug traditionally used during prayer. The mihrab is the niche in a mosque wall that indicates the direction of prayer. Anatolian weavers adapted this architectural feature into textile form, often representing it with a pointed, arched, or stepped composition.

In this piece, the mihrab tradition appears through the directional pointed layout surrounding the central medallion. Floral, geometric, and symbolic motifs fill the field and borders, giving the rug a highly decorative folk-art appearance.

Although originally associated with devotional use, vintage seccade rugs are now also appreciated as collectible textile art. This piece would work beautifully as a bedside rug, entryway accent, reading-corner textile, meditation-space rug, or wall hanging in a traditional, bohemian, rustic, or eclectic interior.

Natural wear, subtle variations in color, slight irregularities, and handmade details are consistent with the rug’s age and form part of its authentic character.
