Vintage Konya Karapınar Rug, 4.2 x 6.6 ft Handmade Wool Prayer Rug, Turkish Anatolian Rug

A beautiful handmade vintage Konya Karapınar rug featuring a striking prayer rug (seccade) design with a strong architectural composition and rich Anatolian character. Woven in wool, this piece reflects the distinctive village weaving tradition of Karapınar, a well-known weaving area in the Konya region of Central Anatolia.

The design is centered around a classic mihrab niche, framed by two elegant column forms and topped with a stylized hanging lamp motif. The field is rendered in a warm deep red tone, while the dark surrounding borders create a bold contrast. Repeating stylized floral and geometric motifs in ivory, black, olive, gold, and soft red add balance and rhythm throughout the composition.

The upper and lower panels, decorative border system, and symbolic Anatolian motifs give this rug a highly collectible and authentic character. It is both visually strong and culturally meaningful, making it an excellent choice for collectors of Turkish village rugs, prayer rugs, and Anatolian textiles.
