The mihrab is the arched niche depicted in the field of the rug. It points the user toward Mecca during prayer. Over time, this architectural motif evolved into distinct regional geometric shapes that help identify where a rug was woven.

Where were they made?

These textiles originate from various regions across Anatolia, including central, western, and north-western districts. Specific towns like Ghiordes, Ladik, and Bergama gave their names to distinct styles. Each weaving centre developed unique border patterns and colour combinations that distinguish its output.

How do I care for one?

Protect the textile from direct sunlight to preserve natural dye integrity and prevent wool degradation. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes abrasive dust from the pile. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles ensures the structural safety of the wool and cotton foundations.
