What is a mihrab design on these rugs?

The mihrab is an arched niche representing the direction of prayer, serving as the primary visual and spiritual focal point of the textile. Weavers arranged geometric borders and symbolic motifs around this arch to frame the sacred space intended for personal devotion.

How do I care for a vintage wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps remove embedded dust while protecting the delicate hand-spun wool pile and foundations. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles ensures the natural dyes and historical fibres remain stable over time.

What does camel ground mean?

A camel ground refers to the use of undyed camel wool or camel hair as the base background colour of the rug field. This natural fibre provides a durable, warm brown foundation that contrasts effectively with brighter dyed wool elements.
