FAQs

A Mauri prayer carpet is a hand-woven textile originating from Turkman weaving traditions, characterised by an arched mihrab niche motif designed to direct the worshipper during prayer.

These carpets are constructed using natural silk pile tied onto a silk or cotton foundation, producing a high knot density, intricate structural detail, and a lustrous finish.

Authentic hand-knotted silk carpets display subtle knot variations on the reverse side, structural flexibility, precise detail due to high knot counts, and a distinct colour shift when viewed from opposite directions.

A silk prayer rug can be displayed as a wall tapestry, draped over a side table, or placed in a quiet study to add texture and historical interest to a space.

Maintain silk carpets by vacuuming gently without a motorised brush, keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and engaging a professional conservator for stain removal.
