Description
This tribal antique Turkish Ghiordes rug is a unique piece from the city of Ghiordes, Turkey. It was created during the middle part of the 19th century and offers a unique glimpse into the tribal artwork of the area and its Oriental rug history. This is a beautiful piece that features a tribal design, and it also contains a design known as the “Mihrab.” It represents the intersection of two worlds and would make an excellent addition to your home or office.
The antique Turkish rugs from Ghiordes tend to feature more tribal designs and primitive motifs when compared to the Turkish Oushak rugs. We also see more Islamic Prayer design rugs from Ghiordes than we do in rugs from other parts of Turkey.
The Mihrab means “prayer niche” and is a representation of this important feature found in mosques. The faithful kneel in front of the prayer niche and recites daily prayers. When they could not be near a mosque, these Muslim Prayer rugs served as a substitute. Many of them were small enough to be rolled up and taken along for travel.
This antique Turkish area rug is fascinating because it features ancient tribal symbols that have their roots going back a millennium. Many of these symbols were meant to offer protection to the family. In this Ghiordes rug, you will see the symbol for running water, and the star, which represents happiness. This Turkish prayer rug combines ancient tribal symbols and elements of the Islamic faith for a piece that reflects the multi-cultural nature of the city itself.
This gorgeous antique Islamic Turkish Ghiordes prayer design rug uses beautiful, vibrant colors and a simple color palette of only red, cream, and blues. The ability to create such a beautiful piece using only a simple color palette demonstrates the exceptional skill of these tribal artists. Antique rugs such as this one will make a beautiful addition to any room of your home.
