Afghan Turkoman Blue Wool Rug - 63 x 49 cm
Afghan Turkoman Blue Wool Rug - 63 x 49 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
The blue ground gives this Afghan Turkoman Wool Rug a cooler, more distinctive character, setting the twin gul medallions against a calm field of colour rather than the usual deep red base. Around the centre, red geometric borders bring the design back to its tribal strength, creating a clear contrast between softness and structure.
Hand knotted in wool, the rug feels compact but visually complete. The stepped border, dark outlines and small ivory details give the pattern its discipline, while the blue field adds a quieter note to the traditional Turkoman rhythm. It is a small piece with strong identity, shaped by symmetry, colour contrast and confident handmade pattern work.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and handmade structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Each hand-knotted rug is coloured using 100% vegetable dyes, giving the fibres natural depth, gentle tonal movement and the individual character of handmade weaving.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
