FAQs

Turkmen prayer rugs are characterised by a distinctive arched mihrab design at one end, traditionally used by nomadic weavers in Central Asia for daily prayers.

Authentic pieces are typically hand-knotted with hand-spun sheeps wool on a wool or cotton foundation, utilising natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects.

Authentication involves examining the knot density, irregularities in the symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting, the oxidation of dark brown iron-mordanted wool, and the characteristics of natural dyes.

Tribal rugs add texture and warmth to modern minimalist or transitional spaces, working effectively as focal points on wooden floors or layered over larger neutral jute carpets.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing every few years, and keeping the textile away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent dye fading.
