On the surface: Wool, Natural. The shine of the rug, its weight and what its care asks all follow from that choice.
Modern pattern; the motif is built from the yarn itself, not from dye. It does not rub away as the surface wears. The ground reads brown.
This rug is made in Türkiye. Writing the place of production onto the spec sheet also makes clear where the price comes from.
Cleaning method: Professional cleaning. Turning the rug a hundred and eighty degrees once a year spreads the load of sunlight and foot traffic evenly across the surface.
The nature of handwork: Every woven rug is made one at a time, so sizes and color tones can vary by up to 3%. Small irregularities where the yarns cross are not faults; they are the signature of the weave.
Earth brown in wool and cotton, one mark and nothing else
Nothing is drawn on this prayer rug except one small mark, set where the forehead comes down. It is loom-woven in Anatolia in wool and cotton, in plain brown, 80 × 130 cm (2'7" × 4'3"), and the emptiness of the surface is the design rather than an absence of one. Brown is the choice a plain prayer rug wants, because it holds a room's warmth without asking for attention, and because the eye finds nothing on it to follow. That is the whole intention of the Baş Başa series: fewer things to look at, so that what is left is the rhythm of the prayer itself.
The single mark is not decoration and not a mihrab arch — it is a point of orientation, quiet enough that it never interrupts. Wool and cotton, worked on Anatolian looms where machine structure and hand finishing meet, and the fringes are knotted afterward by women in the region, one at a time.
Wool at this weight keeps its shape for years of daily kneeling, which is the practical argument for a wool prayer rug over a thin printed one. It sheds very little. What does Baş Başa mean? Baş Başa is Turkish for being alone together — head to head. The series is named for the state it was made to support: a person, their own spirit, and their Creator, with nothing else in the room.
The design follows from the name, which is why the surface carries almost nothing. Why is there only one mark on the rug? The mark sits at the point where the forehead touches the rug during prostration. It gives the eye one place to settle and the body one place to return to.
Traditional prayer rugs carry a mihrab arch and a full border; this one carries a single point instead, deliberately. Loom-woven in Anatolia, with machine structure and hand finishing. Wool and cotton, giving a matt and sturdy surface. Plain brown, with one mark at the point of prostration and no other pattern. 80 × 130 cm — the standard proportion for one person. Fringes knotted individually by women in the region. It sheds very little. Professional washing when it needs it. A prayer rug used daily takes the shape of the person using it, and this one is heavy enough to show that.
A long look at the surface, the edge finish and the sizes.
The most common mistake in choosing a rug is buying too small. Here are the numbers, room by room:
At least the front legs of the sofas should sit on the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor showing around it.
Recommended: 200×290 · 240×340 · 300×380
It should extend 60–75 cm beyond every edge of the table, so chairs do not catch when pulled back.
Recommended: 200×290 · 250×250 · 240×340
Either cover the lower two-thirds of the bed, or choose a size that extends 60–90 cm on three sides.
Recommended: 170×240 · 200×290 · 240×340
Choose one 25–30 cm shorter than the hallway, leaving 10–15 cm of floor on each side.
Recommended: 80×290 · 90×390 · 90×490
Use a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Once a week is enough; dust is lifted before it settles between the yarns.
Blot, do not rub. Dampen with a suitable cleaner and dry.
Household machines are not suitable for woven rugs. One professional wash a year is recommended.
At least the front legs of your sofas should sit on the rug. For a standard living room 200 × 290 cm is recommended; for wide rooms 240 × 340 cm or 300 × 380 cm. The scale plan on this page shows how much of a 520 × 420 cm room each size covers.
