This large prayer rug from Western Turkey originates from the Ottoman Turkish style period around 1920 and is made from wool and cotton. The piece displays unusual colours of faded oranges and pale reds, along with terracotta, ochre yellow, and cream tones. Visible decoration includes a central stepped arch mihrab motif, multi-band borders, and floral micro-patterns. The weave is fine, and the textile shows wear while remaining strong for use on the floor. The rug measures 199 cm high and 144 cm wide. In a home today, this textile works well in an English Country House interior setting, placed directly on the floor. It brings traditional Ottoman Turkish design and pattern work to living rooms, studies, or bedrooms, adding historical warmth and texture to domestic interior schemes through its layered borders and central niche design.

FAQs

Ghiordes prayer rugs originate from the town of Gordes in western Anatolia and are characterised by their central mihrab niche design, stepped arches, and intricate multi-layered border stripes.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool or cotton foundation, utilising natural dyes to achieve muted terracotta, ochre, and blue tones.

Authenticity is identified through the distinct Turkish double knot technique, micro-patterned border bands, natural dye variations, and characteristic architectural arch symmetry.

An antique rug works effectively mounted on a wall as decorative textile art, layered over neutral floor coverings, or placed in a study to add historic texture.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, turn periodically to distribute wear, and consult a professional restorer for specialist cleaning.
