Vintage Turkish Anatolia Rug 155x102 cm (61x40 in) – Hand Knotted Wool Mihrab Rug – Red & Sage

This authentic hand-knotted Anatolian prayer rug features a bold stepped mihrab niche set into a rich red field, framed by layered borders filled with floral rosettes and protective guard motifs. The calm central space and architectural niche design make it especially beautiful for a meditation corner, bedside styling, or a collected entryway look.

Woven with wool pile and a compact, practical handle, this piece carries the character you only get from true handmade work—gentle variation in tone, confident village drawing, and a timeless palette that mixes deep red with soft sage/green, navy-dark outlines, and warm ivory accents. A standout vintage rug for buyers who want real craftsmanship, not a printed imitation.
