This circa 1875 Melas Turkish Prayer Oriental rug #8158 measures 3’2” x 3’10”. The condition of this rug is ‘as is’. Good for it’s age. In the center of the prayer design there is a figure that looks like a hookah with smoke coming out of it. How nice! There is a single spandrel at the top of the prayer niche done in multicolor leaves. There is no corner solution signifying age dating from 1860-1875. It has an octagonal design border on a yellow, brown ground. The octagons are shaped like squished stop signs cut into quarters. Each quarter is a different color. The ends have problems. The rug is showing wear. Who wouldn’t after 125 years? It is clean and ready to go. https://antiqueorientalrugs.com/product/antique-melas-turkish-prayer-ori...
