Item Details

This hand-knotted Turkish Ghiordes style prayer rug is a sophisticated 20th-century interpretation of one of Anatolia’s most storied weaving traditions. The composition is defined by a central architectural Mihrab, or prayer niche, characterized by a delicate arched canopy and slender columns that frame a suspended hanging lamp motif. Rendered in a serene, monochromatic palette of cream, bone, and sand, the rug trades the high-contrast reds and blues of traditional Ghiordes weavings for a contemporary, ‘sun-washed’ aesthetic. The dense geometric borders and stylized floral spandrels are subtly articulated in muted earth tones, allowing the texture of the hand-spun wool and the natural ‘abrash’ variations to take center stage. With its low-profile pile and architectural silhouette, this rug serves as an elegant, neutral foundation for transitional or minimalist interior spaces.
