50193 Vintage Turkish Prayer Saph Runner, 03'02 x 07'07.

Warm earth-tone colors and Mid-Century Modern style collide in this hand knotted vintage Anatolian Saph runner. The directional Turkish prayer rug beautifully displays three compartments, each with a different mihrab design: double mihrab niche, sultan's head niche, and a single stepped mihrab niche. The compartments display mosque pictorial scenes showcasing individual designs of chandelier pendants, lamps, columns, ewer, jug, eagle, vase, stylized florals, rosettes, tree of life, and other enigmatic motifs. Steeped in Anatolian cultural significance and ambiguous symbolism, this vintage Saph prayer rug communicates the finer points of ancient Turkish mosque history. Balancing earthy colors and a compelling mihrab niche design, this vintage Anatolian rug is a truly wonderful piece that would enliven nearly any interior.
