A wonderful little prayer-rug recently discovered on a recent trip to Istanbul.
Made in the Shirvan region of the eastern Caucasus and dated to the left side of the pointed mihrab, 1331 in the Islamic calendar, which is 1913 in the Solar calendar.
The ivory ground contains a myriad of tiny flowers with a blue pointed prayer mihrab at the top and surrounded by two main borders, one containing small stylised flowers, the other with dragon symbols.
Very finely knotted and in excellent overall condition.
Size: 1.30m x 0.86m (4'' 3'' x 2'' 10'').
Viewing by appointment only.
