Prayer Rugs

I have been "collecting" a little information on some antique Prayer Rugs, particularly if there is genuine provenace. So along the way here I'll post a few of them for your comments.




First is a silk Heriz.



This was sold by Sotheby's (New York) in November of 1983 for $23,100 (including buyer's premium).

It is approx. 5 ft 7 in x 4 ft 7 in and listed as circa 1875.
