Antique Mujur Turkish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece joins our collection of antique rugs, representing the pinnacle of 19th-century Anatolian weaving. Mujur rugs, originating from Central Anatolia, are highly prized for their robust construction and distinctive palette. The central field is dominated by a stepped mihrab rendered in saturated coral hues, providing a warm focal point against the cooler sage and indigo accents of the spandrels. This contrast highlights the geometric precision typical of the region's weaving tradition. The wide primary border features a dense, repeating lattice of stylized medallions, creating a powerful allover pattern effect that balances the strong central niche. These complex, saturated borders utilize deep indigo, ochre, and olive green to frame the composition with unparalleled visual depth.
