FAQs

A Baluch seh mihrab prayer rug is a hand-woven tribal textile created by nomadic Baluch weavers, featuring three arched niches (seh mihrab) at the top end representing prayer arches or architectural forms.

Traditional Baluch rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool for the pile, often woven onto a wool or dark goat hair warp and weft foundation dyed with natural plant materials.

Authentic Baluch rugs feature a soft, flexible wool handle, dark rich colour palettes such as deep red, navy, and dark brown, geometric field patterns, and hand-bound flat-weave selvedges or fringes.

An antique prayer rug can be styled by placing it on neutral timber flooring in an entryway or study, layering it over larger plain carpet, or mounting it safely as textile wall art.

Clean the rug using suction-only vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, place a high-quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and fibre friction, and employ specialist professional cleaning when needed.
