FAQs

Kirsehir rugs originate from the Central Anatolian region of Turkey, traditionally woven by village artisans using distinctive geometric motifs and characteristic mihrab designs intended to point towards Mecca.

These pieces are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced wool for the pile and foundation, dyed with natural vegetable colorants such as madder and indigo.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural irregularities in hand-spun wool, the vegetable dye palette, knot density on the reverse, and characteristic tribal border patterns typical of early 20th-century village production.

This type of textile adds textural warmth and historical contrast when layered over hardwood floors or neutral broadloom carpets in living spaces, studies, or hallways.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
