This exquisite antique Anatolian Ghiordes prayer rug is a masterful example of Ottoman-era weaving, celebrated for its elegant symmetry, devotional symbolism, and soft colour harmony. The design features a central mihrab arch with a stylised hanging oil lamp, flanked by architectural columns and crowned with delicate floral motifs and intricate borders. Woven in a warm palette of ivory, rose, soft gold, and pastel tones, it reflects the refined aesthetics of Ghiordes craftsmanship, prized by collectors and scholars alike. The fine wool pile, hand-knotted on a cotton foundation, ensures durability while maintaining a graceful, supple texture. Ideal for connoisseurs of Islamic art, antique textile lovers, or as a sophisticated focal point in traditional or eclectic interiors, this Anatolian Ghiordes prayer rug is a rare treasure.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
