The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Afghan prayer rugs are hand-knotted textiles characterized by an arched niche design known as a mihrab, framed by intricate geometric tribal borders.

These rugs are constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile and warp foundation, typically dyed with natural mineral and plant-based dyes.

Authentic pieces feature visible knot structures on the reverse side, subtle colour variations known as abrash, and slight asymmetry characteristic of handloom weaving.

Smaller prayer rugs function well in entryways, layered over larger neutral carpets, or displayed as decorative wall hangings to add pattern and warmth.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, blot spills immediately with clean cold water, and consult a professional rug restorer for deep cleaning.
