About the Item

This Early 20th century Turkish Anatolian rug, measuring 3' 8" x 5' 5", is a striking example of the devotional weaving traditions of rural Anatolia. The rug features a bold red mihrab design at its center, symbolizing a prayer niche, with stepped outlines that emphasize the spiritual direction of the piece. The simplicity of the central field is contrasted by the vibrancy of the borders, which are filled with intricate geometric motifs, stylized rosettes, and cross-like forms arranged in rhythmic repetition. The palette is rich and warm, dominated by shades of crimson, terracotta, ivory, and indigo, with touches of soft purple and yellow that add depth and balance. The interplay of colors and patterns conveys both a tribal authenticity and a sense of sacred artistry. Rugs of this type were often woven by village women for household or ceremonial use, embodying both personal devotion and regional identity. This Anatolian rug is a compelling fusion of symbolism and artistry.
