Antique Mudjur Rug
19th Century Central Anatolia Mudjur Prayer Rug Size 128 x 157 cm
Stock No:1609
Niche design Mujur carpets were highly popular during the 19th century, selling to all the regions of the Islamic world. They are often very realistically portrayed in genre paintings by Western orientalist painters depicting scenes from North African bazaars. Early examples such as this red-ground Mujur display a widely conceived mihrab form and stand out due to their balanced compositions and rich range of brilliant colours. The field and border motifs were rigidly fixed by tradition, but there was a certain latitude in the design of the field. This piece shows a striking tree motif which dominates the centre of the field; linked to its tip by fine lines, it is effectively suspended from it.Very good overall condition and strong unfaded colours,Good high pile on it.

Interestingly, when inverted (as it would have been woven), the hanging ornament morphs into a well-drawn ibrik (ewer) motif.Stock No:1632 | Early 19th Century Central Anatolian Konya Prayer Rug Size 96 x 132 cm Stock No:1569 | 19th Century Anatolian Milas Rug Size 128 x 178 cm Stock No:1614 | Early 19th Century Anatolian Bergama Rug Size 150 x 205 cm Stock No:1557 |
