This beautiful antique Anatolian Ghiordes wool rug showcases a classic prayer-niche design, featuring a striking mihrab outlined in deep crimson against a soft, olive-green field. The central field is adorned with stylised geometric floral motifs and symmetric abstract forms, creating a harmonious and balanced composition. Surrounding the niche is an exquisite series of multi-stripe borders, filled with alternating floral and rosette patterns in earthy tones of ivory, ochre, and burgundy, which add depth and rhythm to the layout. Woven with fine handspun wool and natural dyes, this piece exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship of western Anatolia, where Ghiordes rugs were famed for their durability, symmetrical knots, and devotional symbolism. A timeless collector’s item, ideal for adding both cultural richness and vibrant colour to interior spaces.
