What is the purpose of the arch shape?

The pointed arch, or mihrab, represents the prayer niche found in mosques. It directed the worshipper towards Mecca during daily devotions. In domestic settings, this architectural feature provides a strong geometric centrepiece that draws the eye and structures the entire composition of the field.

How do I identify a village rug from a town rug?

Village pieces from regions like Milas or Bergama typically display bolder, more abstract geometric motifs and thicker, hand-spun wool handles. They reflect local tribal traditions and independent domestic production. Town workshop pieces from centres like Kayseri or Ghiordes tend to feature finer materials, tighter knot densities, and more refined floral or silk compositions.

Can I use these rugs on the floor?

Many buyers place these textiles directly onto floors in low-traffic areas, studies, or bedrooms where the pile experiences minimal abrasion. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the rug prevents slipping and reduces wear. Alternatively, many collectors mount them on walls as textile art to protect the foundation and showcase the mihrab design without foot traffic.
