FAQs

An antique Turkish prayer rug is a traditional hand-knotted textile originating from Anatolia, characterised by a central mihrab design that traditionally indicated the direction of prayer.

These rugs are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation threads, often dyed with natural vegetable colorants and knotted using the symmetrical Turkish knot technique.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregularities in hand-spinning and knotting, the use of natural dyes with organic variance, wear patterns appropriate to age, and traditional regional motif structures.

Such pieces function effectively as focal art pieces, wall hangings, or accent floor coverings in neutral spaces, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary clean lines.

Preservation requires gentle, low-suction vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles, and avoidance of direct, prolonged sunlight to protect natural dyes.
