This vintage Turkish Anatolian rug presents a clear prayer mihrab with a stepped arch and hanging lamp motif in soft teal against a warm beige background, surrounded by a detailed charcoal border with geometric hooks and floral elements. The antique wash gives the colors a gentle fade, creating a lived-in, timeless feel.
Made entirely of wool with tight hand-knotting, this small rug has a resilient pile that handles daily use well and provides a soft landing for feet. Its low, even profile prevents curling and makes vacuuming simple.
The design follows classic Anatolian prayer rug traditions, where the niche symbolizes direction in worship and protective motifs guard the edges. The muted palette works in modern, bohemian, or farmhouse settings without clashing.
This compact size fits perfectly at doorways, in front of sinks, or as a bedside piece, adding subtle pattern and comfort to high-traffic or cozy corners.
