FAQs

Baluch and Afghan prayer rugs were traditionally hand-knotted by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes residing in the borderlands between Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, typically featuring distinctive mihrab designs used for daily prayers.

These authentic pieces are constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, occasionally incorporating goat hair or cotton details, and dyed using natural vegetable or insect-based colourants.

Authentic pieces display irregular knot densities, natural abrash colour variations within the wool, hand-finished selvages, and organic wear patterns that reflect genuine nomadic use rather than industrial mass production.

An antique tribal rug functions effectively as a focal point in minimalist or eclectic spaces, adding texture and rich heritage tones when placed over hardwood floors or neutral broadloom carpets.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, periodic professional hand-washing by a specialist in antique textiles, and avoidance of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
