FAQs

Ghiordes rugs originate from the town of Ghiordes in western Anatolia, historically known for distinctive architectural mihrab niches, asymmetrical knots, and delicate floral motifs.

These rugs were traditionally hand-knotted using handspun wool for the pile and foundation, often incorporating natural vegetable dyes such as madder, indigo, and weld.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density, natural dye variations, wool quality, wear patterns, and characteristic border designs specific to the region and period.

An antique prayer rug can be displayed as a focal point on hardwood floors or mounted on a wall as a textile artwork to protect it from heavy foot traffic.

Preservation requires professional low-moisture cleaning, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, using a breathable underlay, and minimising heavy foot traffic.
