Antique Turkish Ghiordes Prayer Rug

Size: 6 ft x 4 ft 2 in (1.83 m x 1.27 m)

This remarkable antique Turkish Ghiordes rug from circa 1850 embodies the expressive artistry of 19th-century Anatolian weaving, its spacious tan field animated by stylized leaves, rosettes, and symbolic motifs that build toward a gently aged mihrab with coral accents and soft ivory outlining. Each border layer reveals the early Ghiordes craftsman's blend of structural precision and expressive detail, while the natural wear, gentle abrash, and softened palette of coral, blush, apricot, and sand tones speak to the piece's authentic age and enduring decorative warmth.
