About the Item
An extraordinary and highly collectible antique Kirshehir prayer rug, hand-knotted from soft, lustrous wool in Central Anatolia (Turkey) circa 1870s. Kirshehir pieces, particularly those from the late 19th century, are treasured for their vivid coloration, characteristic prayer niche (Mihrab) design, and use of natural vegetable dyes.
This stunning piece features the traditional Mihrab motif centered on a deep, striking crimson field. The columns supporting the arch are often symbolic of the entrance to paradise. The field is densely decorated with stylized floral elements and symbolic geometric motifs in a vibrant palette of ivory, sage green, saffron yellow, and deep blue, demonstrating the bold color contrasts unique to the region.
The rug's great age, coupled with its designated function as a prayer rug, makes it a genuine historical textile. It displays authentic age-appropriate wear and a beautiful, soft patina—desirable qualities that confirm its authenticity and enhance its antique charm. This piece is a powerful statement for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a unique, historical artifact for a wall hanging or low-traffic area.
