Hand-knotted in silk, this 4x5 Antique Turkish Mihrab rug in gold is a very special piece of rare construction and quality for this provenance.
On the design:
Connoisseurs will admire this piece featuring a regal design that arguably represents the pinnacle of this Turkish lineage—particularly in its fine details and elegant sensibility. It’s equally collectible for being a rug like few of this Mihrab style and versatile size alike. Keen eyes may further admire a field of gold, borders of beige and especially present, rich red tones underscore a Mihrab pattern, or “prayer rug” representing the gateway to paradise. The Mihrab’s negative space further draws the eye to admire this rug’s archaic charm and its natural play with the texture. This is a smart, yet reverent nod to prayer rugs, and an exemplar of this shabby-chic collection.
Condition:
Good condition, wear consistent with age, but ready for the floor and wall-hanging purposes alike—an extremely collectible, rare find among masterpieces. less
