FAQs

Traditional Turkish prayer rugs originate from Anatolia, historically crafted by nomadic and village weavers for personal devotional use, typically featuring a distinctive arched mihrab design indicating the direction of prayer.

Authentic pieces are predominantly hand-knotted from handspun sheeps wool on a wool or cotton foundation, utilising natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects to achieve rich, enduring hues.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the irregular hand-knotted weave on the reverse, the presence of natural dye variations or abrash, hand-finished fringes, and the overall wear consistent with age.

An antique prayer rug can be layered over a larger neutral sisal floor covering or used as a striking focal point in a hallway, bringing texture and historical warmth to modern spaces.

Preserve antique rugs by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush bar, keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fade, and professional cleaning by specialists in historic textiles.
