Marisali Prayer

A beautiful and highly collectible antique Marasali prayer rug dating to around 1880, handwoven in the renowned Caucasian weaving tradition of the Shirvan. Marasali prayer rugs are especially admired for their elegant arch-shaped mihrab designs, finely drawn geometric ornamentation, and rich, naturally aged colour palettes.

This late 19th-century example of Marasali Prayer Rugs displays exceptional tribal artistry, with a well-balanced composition and crisp detailing characteristic of the finest village and workshop weavings from the region. The design retains strong visual clarity, enhanced by a warm and harmonious patina developed over more than a century.

Offered in good antique condition, the rug shows light age-related wear consistent with its age, while remaining structurally sound with a pleasing and usable pile. Its combination of rarity, devotional design, and decorative appeal makes it highly desirable for collectors and interior use
