Prayer Rugs

Shaped around the arch of a mihrab, our prayer rugs are small, personal pieces where a single niche gives the whole design its sense of direction.

Vintage Afghan Baluch rugs are woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic women on portable looms, with hooked diamonds and protective symbols worked from memory. Vintage Afghan Turkmen rugs bring deep reds and tight all-wool construction. Vintage Turkish Kayseri rugs are finely knotted in the town tradition, with florals and vines framing the niche. You'll also find Persian Bakhtiari, Senneh and Kashmar rugs, Princess Bokhara rugs, Turkish Kars and Yagcibedir rugs and Pakistani prayer rugs, some with a tree of life inside the arch.

Their size makes them easy to place beside a bed, in an entry or at the foot of a chair, and many look beautiful hung on a wall.
