Kirsehir Rug Türkiye 202 X 130 Cm

Carpet from central Turkey, wool, circa 1920. Very good condition considering its age. Some restorations have been carried out over time.

The ancient city of Kirsehir is located halfway between Ankara and Kayseri. The pattern of this prayer rug (namazlik*) is characteristic of old 'cardboards' since the beginning of the 19th century.

The top of the mihrab is finished with a niche and a stepped arch topped with a floral motif. The carnation, characteristic of Kirsehir carpets, is represented in panels at each end of the mihrab. Different borders frame the mihrab of this carpet in the bright and harmonious colors typical of carpets from the beginning of the 20th century.
*The term namazlik designates, in Turkey, carpets reserved for prayer.
