Where were these rugs made?

These textiles originate from various regions across Anatolia, including specific weaving centres such as Bergama, Konya, Milas, Kirsehir, and Oushak. Each district developed distinct geometric or floral repertoires. Village and nomadic weavers produced these pieces for domestic use and local trade, incorporating regional designs passed down through generations.

How do I care for an antique rug?

Protect the wool fibres by vacuuming gently without a rotating beater bar, and keep the piece out of direct, harsh sunlight to prevent dye fading. Professional specialist cleaning ensures the hand-spun wool remains resilient. Rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly across the surface and preserve the pile.

What is a prayer rug?

A prayer rug is a portable textile featuring a prominent mihrab arch at one end, traditionally used for daily Islamic prayers. These formats often display specific regional borders and symbolic motifs. Collectors value them for their balanced composition and precise devotional iconography developed by village weavers.

How do I date an old rug?

Dating relies on analysing the wool quality, natural dye palette, structural materials like cotton or hand-spun wool, and stylistic regional markers. Early nineteenth-century pieces often display looser village structures and richer madder reds. Comparing knot density and design evolution against known regional benchmarks helps establish the period of production.
