FAQs

Baluch prayer rugs are characterised by their distinctive tribal motifs, often featuring a mihrab design and woven by nomadic groups in the borderlands between Iran and Afghanistan.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using handspun wool for the pile, often with wool or cotton foundations, and dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authentication involves examining the irregularity of the weave, natural abrash variations in the wool colour, structural wear patterns, and the specific tribal iconography characteristic of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century weaving.

These textiles add textural warmth and geometric interest when placed as accent flooring in minimalist spaces, layered over larger neutral carpets, or displayed as wall hangings.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
