This magnificent antique prayer rug comes from Avanos, Turkey, a historic town located in the Cappadocia region. Traditionally, rugs from this area were woven by family groups and are characterized by their exceptional quality, as is the case with this piece from the 1900s that we present to you.
The rug exhibits an elegant stepped, contoured Mihrab design surrounded by several borders with intricate plant and floral motifs. The central field is beautifully framed by these details, highlighting the visual harmony of the piece.
It stands out for its impressive density of knots, which is evidence of the high quality of its weave. The color palette and arrangement of the elements are extremely pleasant and balanced.
Avanos, known in ancient times as Venessa, was an important center of civilizations throughout history.
