About the Item
Antique Turkish Mihrabi Kilim Rug, Anatolia, Early 20th Century
Handwoven Wool Flatweave with Geometric Chevron
Tribal Symbolism
Size: 190 × 106 cm (6'3" × 3'6")
This exceptional Antique Turkish Mihrabi Kilim rug is a striking example of Anatolian tribal flatweave artistry, distinguished by its bold central chevron (mihrab-inspired) composition, vivid geometric symbolism, and refined colour harmony. Entirely handwoven from natural wool on a durable cotton foundation, this authentic antique kilim features a powerful vertical layout rendered in terracotta, deep navy, cream, burgundy, sage green, soft pink, and light blue.
Its dramatic yet balanced design gives the rug strong visual presence, making it an ideal decorative accent rug, prayer-rug-inspired textile, or statement folk-art piece for luxury interiors, bohemian homes, and curated contemporary spaces.
Origin
Cultural Heritage
Handwoven in Anatolia, Turkey, this kilim reflects centuries of tribal and village weaving traditions, where geometric forms served both decorative and symbolic functions. The mihrabi-inspired stacked chevron motif is closely associated with ideas of direction, protection, spirituality, and harmony, commonly found in Anatolian prayer rugs and symbolic flatweaves.
As an authentic early 20th-century Turkish kilim, this piece carries the character, patina, and cultural integrity sought by collectors of antique oriental rugs, Anatolian textiles, and tribal flatweaves. Its compact scale and strong iconography make it particularly desirable as a collectible heritage textile.
Design
Decorative Impact
The rug’s composition is anchored by a central chevron and arrow-like mihrab form, rising vertically through the field and framed by alternating tribal symbols, hooked motifs, stepped geometry, and zig-zag borders—all classic elements of Anatolian village weaving.
The multicolour palette balances warmth and contrast, allowing the rug to integrate effortlessly into:
Bohemian and eclectic interiors
Rustic and ethnic décor
Modern minimalist spaces seeking colour and symbolism
Traditional interiors with a focus on heritage textiles
Its elongated rectangular format makes it especially suitable as an entryway accent rug, bedside kilim, wall-hung textile artwork, or focal piece in smaller living spaces.
Craftsmanship
Materials
This authentic handwoven flatweave rug is crafted from high-quality natural wool, prized for its durability, softness, and ability to hold richly saturated colour. The cotton foundation provides stability and longevity, while the traditional kilim weaving technique ensures a lightweight yet resilient structure.
Colours are produced using traditional dyeing methods, resulting in depth, nuance, and long-lasting vibrancy. Each motif is woven individually by hand, reflecting the skill, cultural knowledge, and artistic expression of Anatolian tribal weavers. This is not a reproduction, but a true artisan-made antique kilim.
Interior Styling
Use
With its size of 190 × 106 cm, this antique Turkish kilim is perfectly suited as:
A decorative accent rug
A bohemian wall hanging or tapestry
A bedside or entryway kilim
A folk-art textile for curated interiors
A layered piece in eclectic or global-inspired spaces
It pairs beautifully with natural wood, stone, leather, linen, and modern furnishings, adding warmth, symbolism, and cultural depth. Highly appealing to interior designers, collectors, and lovers of tribal décor, it offers both artistic impact and historical authenticity.
Care
Preservation
Vacuum gently on low suction without a beater bar and rotate periodically for even wear. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the natural dyes. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. A rug pad is recommended for protection and stability. Professional cleaning by an antique rug specialist is advised for long-term preservation.
Why This Kilim Is Exceptional
This Antique Turkish Mihrabi Kilim rug offers a rare blend of symbolic geometric design, authentic tribal craftsmanship, organic materials, and refined colour balance. More than a decorative rug, it is a collectible work of textile art, ideal for buyers seeking a mihrab-inspired kilim, a geometric Anatolian rug, or an investment-quality antique flatweave.
Timeless, expressive, and culturally rich, this piece brings heritage, meaning, and visual power into both traditional and contemporary interiors.
