Antique Turkish Ghiordes Prayer Rug of Classic Design, Circa 1800.

19th century
Description

Size: 6ft 7in x 4ft 6in (200 x 136cm).

Antique Turkish Ghiordes prayer rug of classic design with multiple stripe borders.

Circa 1800.

The rug is beautifully drawn with superb pastel colours through out with an ivory central field.. The multiple stripe border design is very attractive, this is also found on some Kula rugs of a similar age, note the outer border of carnation flowers.

The rug is in fair condition with wear, heavy in places and medium / low pile with a few areas of foundation showing. There are a few scattered old re-weaves and repairs as one would expect with a rug of this age, both ends have tape applied.

The rug has been hand washed and is ready for use or display. The rug is suitable for very light domestic use, but would make a superb wall hanging.

This antique Turkish Ghiordes prayer rug dates from 1800 and exhibits an Ottoman Anatolian style. Made from wool and cotton, the piece displays a colour palette of cream, burgundy, red, and ivory. The central field features a mihrab niche surrounded by multi-banded borders with symmetrical floral spandrels and carnation flower motifs. Condition notes include visible wear, medium to low pile with areas of foundation showing, scattered old re-weaves, repairs, and tape applied to both ends. The textile measures 200 cm high, 136 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The rug suits very light domestic use or functions as a wall hanging in an English Country House interior. Placed on the floor in low-traffic areas or mounted on a wall, it adds traditional Anatolian design elements to a room.

FAQs

Originating from the town of Ghiordes in Western Anatolia, these rugs are characterized by an architectural mihrab motif representing a prayer niche, surrounded by intricate floral and geometric multi-stripe borders.

These rugs are hand-knotted using local hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation, employing the symmetrical Ghiordes double-knot technique.

Authentic period examples demonstrate natural vegetable-dyed wool yarns, structural wear consistent with age, soft handle, and distinct design elements such as high arched niches and stylized floral spandrels.

These textiles are typically displayed as decorative wall hangings or layered over neutral modern carpets to add historical texture and colour contrast.

Preservation requires regular rotation to ensure even exposure, vacuuming without a rotating brush, usage of high-quality underlays, and specialized professional hand-cleaning.
