Elmadag Prayer Rug
Mid 19th century, 181 x 135 cm, Central Anatolia
This very rare rug stands out due to its kilim-style design; it is a knotted version of a prayer rug, as it were. Judging by its specific palette of pale greens and light reds, it was probably woven in the town of Elmadag east of Ankara or its surroundings. A comparative example has been published by Reinisch. – Slight signs of age and wear, good overall condition, original finishes all around.
