FAQs

Prayer rugs are traditional textiles designed with a directional arch pattern, known as a mihrab, which mirrors the architectural niche in a mosque. These textiles originated across rug-weaving regions in Central Asia, Anatolia, and Persia, serving both practical devotional purposes and representing regional weaving heritage.

High-density prayer rugs are commonly hand-knotted using pure silk yarn for the pile, often tied onto a silk or fine cotton warp and weft foundation. The natural lustre of silk allows for fine detailing and a high knot count per square inch.

An authentic hand-knotted silk rug displays slight variations in knot consistency on the reverse side, soft flexibility, and a distinct sheen shift when viewed from different angles. Furthermore, the fringe forms an integral part of the woven warp threads rather than being sewn onto the finished edges.

A small silk prayer rug can be displayed as a decorative wall tapestry to protect the fibres while serving as a focal point. Alternatively, designers place them over larger, neutral natural-fibre carpets or in low-traffic areas such as studies and dressing rooms.

Antique silk rugs should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Vacuuming should be executed without a rotating beater bar, and professional specialist dry cleaning is recommended for stain removal and periodic maintenance.
