Vintage Hand-Knotted Wool Rug 153x96 cm | Deep Red Mihrab Tribal Rug | Boho Bedroom Rug, Entryway Statement

This larger rug has a powerful, architectural mihrab composition with a saturated red field, vertical columned lines, and repeating hooked/scroll motifs that feel both rhythmic and protective. The border system is especially strong—layered guards, diamond-chain detailing, and bold corner language that frames the central niche like a doorway.

Hand-knotted in wool with a compact, durable pile, it reads beautifully on the floor—graphic from a distance, and richly textured up close. It’s the kind of piece that works equally well as a spiritual-format collectible or simply as a bold statement rug for modern boho, eclectic, rustic, or maximal interiors.
