FAQs

A Gendje prayer rug is a hand-knotted wool textile produced in the Ganja region of the South Caucasus during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These rugs are distinguished by their geometric patterns, vibrant primary colours, and a pointed arch design known as a mihrab.

Traditional Caucasian rugs were woven using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for both the warp, weft, and pile. The yarn was dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in saturated shades of red, indigo blue, ivory, and yellow.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-bound selvedges, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, and a wool foundation rather than cotton. The reverse side reveals irregularities in the hand-tied symmetrical knots typical of tribal weaving.

An antique prayer rug can be used as a focal point in an entryway, laid over neutral sisal flooring, or displayed as a wallhanging using professional conservation mounts.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar to avoid loosening fibres. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth and consult a specialist rug restorer for periodic deep cleaning.
