FAQs

An Obruk prayer kilim is a traditional handwoven flatweave textile originating from the Obruk region in central Anatolia, characterised by a pointed arch or mihrab design symbolizing a prayer niche.

Anatolian kilims are typically hand-woven using pure hand-spun sheep wool for both warp and weft, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes, utilizing a slit-weave flatweaving technique.

Authentic antique kilims feature hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, traditional localized tribal motifs, and distinct slit-weave construction without a raised pile.

Prayer kilims can be mounted as striking wall hangings to display their architectural mihrab design, layered over larger neutral floor coverings, or positioned in entryways and quiet seating areas to add colour and texture.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to balance wear, address spills immediately with cool water blotters, and utilize professional specialist rug cleaning for periodic maintenance.
