FAQs

A Turkish Konya prayer rug is a traditional hand-knotted textile originating from the Konya region in Central Anatolia, typically characterised by a distinctive mihrab arch design used for Islamic prayer.

These rugs are traditionally crafted using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural plant and insect-derived dyes that develop a rich patina over time.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-knotted weave density, wool quality, natural dye variations, knot types on the reverse, and regional specificities in motifs such as border patterns and mihrab geometry.

An antique prayer rug can be styled as a focal point on neutral wooden floors, layered over a larger sisal rug, or mounted on a wall as a textile artwork to add texture and history to a room.

Preservation involves gentle, regular vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in textile conservation, keeping out of direct sunlight, and using breathable rug underlays.
