ANTIQUE #SA1167064

Konya Prayer Rug

£1,500    $2,010    €1,757
This is an intriguing rug. I believe it to have good age, possibly earlier than stated but I prefer to be cautious when dating rugs. The weave is floppy with 3-5 wefts of alternating colours between each row of knots. There are at least 7 different coloured wefts which affects the overall palette when seen from the front. The knots are also very big which gives the design a crude appearance. As with many prayer rugs it was woven upside down, that is the prayer arch completed first. I love the rich colours and soft wool, the light blue has wonderful abrash and the multicoloured diamonds that float over it reminds one of the finest stained glass windows. Altogether a beautiful rug.
 
Low pile in places with the multi-coloured wefts showing through. The sides and ends are original and complete.
