3'10 x 7'7 Hand-Knotted Turkish Ghiordes Prayer Rug

Item Details

This authentic antique Ghiordes prayer rug is a quintessential example of Turkish workshop artistry. It features a classic terracotta Mihrab (prayer niche) with a stylized floral lamp pendant symbolizing divine light. The composition is defined by characteristic stepped niche lines and cross-panels containing Rhodian lilies, a motif specific to the Ghiordes and Ladik traditions. The borders consist of multiple narrow stripes, including a tobacco-brown main stripe decorated with alternating floral rosettes. Hand-knotted with fine wool, this piece offers the historical prestige and muted palette desired by textile collectors.
