Antique East Anatolian Yuruk Prayer Rug, Superb Colour, 2nd Half 19th Century.

19th century
Description

Size: 4ft 6in x 2ft 96in (138 x 84cm).

Antique Eastern Anatolian Kurdish Yuruk prayer rug of classic design with outstanding colour.

2nd half 19th century.

An excellent example of a Yuruk prayer rug, with the classic bold design and intense dye colours. The wool is soft and glossy. The butterscotch coloured border frames the rug well and contrasts with the cochineal red light indigo blue field.

Superb condition with some even wear and good pile. The rug has a few scattered very small old repairs and the selvedges have been re-bound in the traditional Yuruk manner. The top end retains part of the original decorated kilim end finish.

A good collectors rug that will make an excellent display item.

Hand washed and ready for use or display.

Stock Number: H-276.

This antique East Anatolian Yuruk prayer rug dates from the second half of the 19th century and belongs to the Anatolian Tribal style. Made from hand-knotted wool, the piece displays a colour palette of light indigo blue, cochineal red, magenta, butterscotch and terracotta. The design incorporates a stepped mihrab niche, geometric tribal symbols, and multi-band borders filled with motifs. Physical details visible include soft glossy pile, even wear across the surface, traditional re-bound selvedges, a small number of scattered old repairs, and a top end retaining part of the original decorated kilim finish. Measuring 138 cm high, 84 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the item functions as a decorative floor covering or display piece in a study, hallway or living room. The hand-washed wool rug suits traditional or eclectic interiors as a functional textile or wall hanging.

FAQs

Yuruk rugs are hand-knotted textiles created by nomadic tribes in the mountainous regions of Anatolia, typically featuring a stepped mihrab niche design used for daily prayer.

These carpets were hand-spun using locally sourced sheep wool for both the warp and pile, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted asymmetric weave variations, natural dye colour abrash, soft lanolin-rich wool, and traditional tribal iconography such as the stepped arched niche.

Small tribal rugs function well as focal accent pieces when laid on neutral hardwood floors, integrated into layered rug arrangements, or displayed as decorative wall hangings.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to balance light exposure, and rely on professional hand-washing specialists for deep cleaning.
