Two Vintage Machine-Woven Pictorial Rugs Including a Turkish Prayer Mat and a Woodland Deer Scene - A collection of two vintage machine-woven pictorial rugs or tapestries. The first rug depicts a woodland landscape featuring a stag and doe in the foreground with smaller deer in a snowy forest setting against a sunset horizon. The design is executed in a palette of browns, creams, and greens, finished with dark blue fringing to the shorter ends. The construction consists of a dense, flat machine-woven pile on a cotton foundation, with the pattern visible in a muted form on the reverse. The second item is a Turkish prayer rug or sajadah featuring a vibrant electric blue pile with a lustrous, velvet-like finish. The decorative scheme includes a central floral bouquet and architectural mosque structures with minarets, framed by multiple ornamental borders in red, cream, and yellow. It is finished with blue fringing to the shorter ends. The fine, flat mechanical weave on the reverse is characteristic of mass-produced decorative textiles from the mid-to-late 20th century.
