Description

Unusual Anatolian prayer rug with the soft yellow ground and showing heavy European influence with the large scrolling leaves. Very pretty rug showing the meeting of cultures and bringing out the best of both worlds. A vase issues the tree of life in the central field while the hanging mosque lamps adorn where the head should touch the rug in prayer.

A bargain price, if I may say so.

FAQs

Kirsehir rugs originate from the Central Anatolian region of Turkey, known for producing distinctive prayer rugs featuring architectural mihrab designs, unique niche formats, and traditional folk motifs passed down through generations of weavers.

Authentic pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants to achieve rich, enduring hues.

Authenticity is identified through examining the knot density, irregular natural dye variations across the wool, hand-finished borders, and the presence of traditional Central Anatolian tribal motifs and structural characteristics.

Such textiles work effectively as focal points when placed on neutral hardwood flooring, hung as textile art on a wall, or layered over larger sisal rugs to add texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brush attachments, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and utilizing professional specialist cleaning services periodically.
