Handwoven Iranian Prayer Carpet 80x120 cm with Lace Doormat & Matching Belt

When light falls gently across its surface, you don’t just see a carpet—you feel a story unfolding beneath your feet. The Handwoven Iranian Prayer Carpet (80x120 cm), accompanied by a delicate lace doormat and a matching prayer belt, is more than a functional object. It is an heirloom in motion—a quiet testament to centuries of devotion, artistry, and cultural continuity.

When Threads Speak of Faith: The Persian Soul Woven Into Every Line

In the ancient cities of Shiraz and Isfahan, where minarets pierce the sky and poetry lingers in the air, master weavers sit before wooden looms, their hands moving with rhythmic precision. Each knot tied into this prayer carpet carries the weight of generations—some patterns passed down orally, others drawn from illuminated manuscripts hidden in family trunks. This isn't mass production; it's meditation made visible.

The art of Persian carpet weaving dates back over two millennia, yet here it breathes in the present. No machine can replicate the subtle asymmetry that gives handmade textiles their soul. In every inch of this 80x120 cm rug, you’ll find evidence of human touch—the slight variation in thread tension, the organic flow of floral motifs blooming toward the mihrab arch. These imperfections are not flaws—they are fingerprints of faith.

The Sacred Proportion: Designing Stillness in Modern Life

At 80x120 centimeters, this prayer carpet strikes a perfect balance between reverence and practicality. Designed with both ergonomics and ritual in mind, its dimensions allow ample space for full prostration while fitting seamlessly into contemporary homes—from studio apartments to serene corners beside bedroom windows.

Imagine rolling it out each morning as sunlight filters through sheer curtains. Or placing it just inside your entryway, paired with the accompanying lace-edged doormat—a graceful threshold between the outside world and inner sanctuary. Whether used for daily salah or as a grounding element in your living space, this carpet invites pause. It carves out holiness in the mundane.

The Whispering Edge: Symbolism Woven Into Lace

The intricate lace trim surrounding the carpet is not merely decorative—it speaks a silent language of protection, purity, and transition. Rooted in traditional Islamic geometry, the repeating patterns echo infinity and unity, reflecting divine order. Stars, hexagons, and interlaced vines form a visual hymn that guides the eye—and the spirit—toward the central mihrab, symbolizing the gateway to Mecca.

This fusion of Persian delicacy and spiritual solemnity transforms the rug into a work of contemplative design. The lace doormat echoes these motifs, creating harmony between entrance and altar, guest and host, outer life and inner stillness.

A Pilgrimage Underfoot: A Sensory Journey of Texture, Warmth, and Memory

Beneath bare feet, the carpet reveals another dimension. Crafted from high-grade wool, its pile offers soft resilience—warm in winter, breathable in summer. The cotton foundation ensures durability without sacrificing flexibility, allowing it to lie flat on any surface.

What you won’t find are harsh chemicals or synthetic dyes. Instead, natural pigments derived from plants and minerals give the colors their depth and longevity. Over time, they mellow like old books or well-loved garments, telling a story of use and care. For those with sensitive skin or allergies, this means comfort without compromise—low-irritant, hypoallergenic, and imbued with the faint, earthy scent of authenticity.

The Belt as Bridge: From Garment to Grounding

The included matching prayer belt is more than an accessory—it’s a ritual cue. Slipping it around your waist before prayer becomes a physical affirmation of intention. Like tightening a seatbelt before a journey, this small act signals a shift from distraction to devotion.

Designed to complement the carpet’s palette and texture, the belt completes the ensemble aesthetically and spiritually. Together, they form a cohesive sacred set—one that honors tradition while adapting to modern lifestyles.

Bringing Sanctuary Home: Where Design Meets Devotion

You don’t need a mosque to create a place of peace. This carpet anchors any room with quiet dignity. Pair it with minimalist Scandinavian furniture for contrast, or layer it within a richly textured Middle Eastern interior for immersive warmth. Even children notice it—many parents share how their kids recognize “Mama’s quiet time” when the carpet appears, learning reverence through observation.

The Gift That Invites Presence

Gifting this set transcends material exchange. Present it during Ramadan, as a wedding blessing, or to someone embracing their faith journey. Wrapped in care, it carries not just beauty—but permission: permission to slow down, to connect, to pray.

Because what you're really giving is not a carpet, but a doorway—to stillness, to memory, to a moment where the soul can breathe.
