Antique Kirshehir Prayer Rug

19th century
Description

A late 19th century Kirshehir prayer rug woven in Central Anatolia, in the Kirshehir region an area famous for using vivid natural dyes and one way niche Mihrab designs such as this wonderful vibrant rug.  The weavers used the softest wool along with great colours and this piece is no exception.  The Mihrab (arch shaped design in the centre) is a vivid purple dye, famous for Kirshehir weavers.

We can see lots of aubergine and brown dyes which have corroded in the design.  This is due to the iron properties in the ancient wool, as it corrodes over time adding an embossed effect.  The rare green dyes are faded and varied too.

Condition is good, woven around 1890 we can see a few old areas of repair, hung on a wall too, it has its hanging rings sewn on the back.  A rare and collectable antique Turkish rug, please look at all the additional images to see the dyes up close.

You can reserve and request a home visit service to view this antique rug in your own home, you can choose a suitable day and time for us to visit you.

Our home visit service is a professional, free service we have offered for over 30 years.  We have travelled all over the UK helping customers and interior designers.
