Antique Circa. Mid 19th C. Turkish Ghiordes Prayer Rug Fabulous Condition - Rare For Sale
Title:
This is a beautiful example of an antique Turkish prayer rug, a Ghiordes from the 1850's or older, in incredible intact condition.
Provenance:
This prayer rug was made in the town of Gordes or Ghiordes in prayer rug format, most likely never used as a prayer rug. Ghiordes prayer rugs have always been highly sought after. This rug has a full pile and absolutely no defects, and could be both used as a floor rug, or as a fantastic wall hanging. It has at least 15 different colors. It has the classic "apple blossom and leaf" border often related to as a clown face. This rug will make a fabulous accent in any room, my recommendation would be to be only used as a wall hanging piece now, to preserve its integrity. It has no holes, flat spots reweaves, it is in its original condition, unusualin-itselfto find such a fabulous intact piece.
