Frequently Asked Questions
What is Silk & Sidr?
Silk & Sidr is a house of Islamic art and craftsmanship. We collaborate with master artisans to create timeless pieces, from calligraphy and prayer rugs to beads, tiles, and more.
Where are your pieces made?
Each collection comes from a different region. Our debut calligraphy series was created in Istanbul. Upcoming works include rugs woven in Afghanistan, beads carved in the UK, and mushafs hand bound in Syria.
What does “Silk & Sidr” mean?
Both silk and the sidr tree are mentioned in the Qur’an as gifts of paradise in the Islamic tradition. They represent beauty in this world and the next, reflecting the harmony between faith and refinement that inspires our work.
Are the calligraphy pieces original?
Yes. Our originals are one-of-one works by master calligrapher Ahmet Namazi. Each is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
What are limited-edition prints?
Our prints are fine-art reproductions made using museum-grade materials and archival inks. Each edition is limited to 50 pieces per size.
How do you ensure authenticity and quality?
Every piece is produced in collaboration with the original artist and inspected before it leaves our studio. Our materials are sourced for longevity.
