This vintage Turkish Anatolian rug features a distinctive prayer mihrab with paired fish motifs hanging from the arch, surrounded by small geometric flowers and crosses in gray on a pale beige background. The borders include repeating tribal hooks and diamonds in charcoal with subtle teal highlights, all softened by the antique wash for a calm, weathered effect.
The wool knotting creates a resilient, low pile that feels smooth and supports steady use in doorways or walkways. The washing gives the surface a slight sheen while keeping the rug easy to clean and resistant to showing dirt.
Fish symbols in some Anatolian prayer rugs represent abundance and protection, adding a unique touch to the classic niche layout rooted in regional traditions. The quiet colors bring a peaceful, understated elegance to any room.
This size works well as a doormat, kitchen runner, or bedside rug, offering gentle pattern and lasting comfort in everyday spots.
