How do I clean an old rug?

Surface dirt is best managed through gentle suction vacuuming without a beater bar. Professional textile cleaning is necessary for deep washing to protect the natural fibres. Water exposure should be kept to a minimum to prevent dye bleeding in wool and silk. Specialist care ensures the historic pile remains intact.

Can I put these rugs on the floor?

These textiles were originally made for domestic floor use and can continue to handle light foot traffic. Placing a quality underlay beneath the piece prevents slipping and reduces fibre friction against hard floors. High-traffic hallways may accelerate wear on fragile silk or fine nineteenth-century examples. Lighter prayer formats suit low-traffic rooms or wall display.

How do I identify a prayer rug?

A prayer rug is distinguished by a prominent pointed arch or mihrab shape at one end of the field. This architectural motif directs the user during prayer. Regional variations from Ghiordes, Konya, and Kirsehir all utilise this distinct directional layout. The field beneath the arch often contains floral or geometric motifs.

A yastic is a traditional Turkish cushion cover woven in smaller dimensions than a standard floor rug. These pieces served functional roles on low divans in Anatolian homes. Their compact scale makes them accessible examples of village weaving. Collectors value them for their concentrated regional patterns.
