Description

A one-of-a-kind semi antique Anatolian prayer rug featuring a carefully constructed arch design, framing at its base the depiction of a mosque that stands under a large pendant lamp & between two grand columns reaching into the ornate crown of the arch. The arch itself is decorated with vertical, elongated cartouches that are placed in the piers & spandrels very neatly, each of which depicting a single cypress tree that symbolize the one-ness of God in Turkish Islamic culture. The inner border that is connected to the field & outer border with detailed, dainty guard strips is also very unique in that it seems to depict a whole other town setting with its mosques, gardens & tombstones in much smaller scale & less color detail. Since this is a prayer rug, it evokes a strong sense of other-worldliness & peace. The rug has an amazing color story that is very appealing & brings greater focus into the kind of small detail that it depicts. It is very finely hand-knotted with even medium wool pile on wool foundation, in very good condition, sturdy & as clean as a brand new rug (deep washed professionally). Stock No: NC1571. Dimensions: 4.3x6 Ft (130x182 cm) 4.3x6 Ft Semi Antique Handmade Cappadocia Wool Prayer Rug From Turkey, Ca 1940. Nc1571
