About Prayer Rugs

Prayer rugs feature a directional design: the mihrab niche, an arch-shaped field oriented towards Mecca during prayer. They come from many weaving regions – from Anatolia and Persia to Central Asia.

Their mostly small format and often fine knotting also make them prized decorative pieces – as a wall hanging, accent or collector’s item.
