This Turkish Kirsehir prayer rug dates from 1930 and follows an Anatolian style hand-knotted from wool with an even pile throughout. The piece has a red central field containing a stepped mihrab niche, two stylized tree of life motifs, and an eight-pointed star, framed by complex geometric floral borders in navy, mustard, red, and cream. Fringe edges run along the top and bottom, showing tidy condition with a clean surface overall. Measuring 186 cm high by 120 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the runner suits placement on a hallway floor or beside a bed as an accent piece in a living space.

FAQs

Kirsehir prayer rugs originate from central Anatolia in Turkey, traditionally hand-woven by artisan weavers featuring a distinctive stepped mihrab arch motif. These carpets reflect centuries of regional weaving traditions, incorporating geometric floral designs and rich natural dyes.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile, built upon a sturdy wool foundation. Rich crimson, navy blue, and mustard yellow tones were historically derived from plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces display hand-tied knots visible on the underside, subtle colour variations in the yarn known as abrash, and characteristic iconography such as the stepped niche arch and central star motifs. Hand-finished fringe ends and sturdy selvedge bindings further indicate genuine artisan origin.

Traditional prayer rugs add vibrant colour and rich texture when placed in entryways, hallway nooks, or beside a bed. They also serve effectively as mounted wall art, introducing historic craftsmanship into modern or eclectic spaces.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the hand-knotted pile or fringe edges. Blot spills immediately using a clean damp cloth with mild diluted wool soap, and rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear.
