    Near antique early 20th century vintage oriental rug, 64" x 96", with a
    prayer rug type design. Please forgive us if we have all the wrong
    terminology here, we love vintage textiles, but know very little about old
    rugs! I'm floundering here, so please feel free to email us with any info or
    questions.
    
    We believe this is wool pile, and are unsure of the fiber content of the
    warp thread (linen? cotton? a fine wool?). I don't follow exactly how to
    tell anything at all from the knotting, I'm sorry. This came out of the
    collection of an antique dealer in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area, and we know
    it has some age. But we know nearly nothing else about it.
    
    It seems as though this is probably a traditional rug pattern in prayer rugs
    (mosque pillars?) but this seems to be very much larger than a usual prayer
    rug. We don't know if it's Turkish or Persian, and haven't found any
    markings. We haven't been able to find a lot of information about this type
    of rug at all. 
    
    This piece was probably used on a floor at some point, but is in good shape
    without fading or a lot of wear, odor free. We haven't had it cleaned, it's
    just as found.
