Vintage 1989 Hisar Tekstil Large Islamic Wall Hanging – Mecca / Kaaba – 48" x 65"
Exceptional large-format vintage Hisar Tekstil Islamic wall hanging, made in Turkey and featuring a detailed depiction of Mecca and the Kaaba / Masjid al-Haram.
This piece was personally purchased by the original owner in the Gulf region in 1989 for approximately $400, making it a documented period acquisition rather than a recently obtained decorative textile.
At approximately 48 x 65 inches, this is substantially larger than the smaller Hisar Tekstil prayer rugs and wall hangings commonly seen on the secondary market.
