Each hand-knotted rug is one of a kind, but recommended handmade pieces are shown below.
This Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Rug carries the strong visual language of Turkoman weaving, where repeated gul-style motifs are built into the wool pile with patience, discipline and hand skill. The deep red field gives the rug warmth and presence, while the darker patterning and geometric borders create a sense of order across the whole piece. Each motif feels connected to the next, forming a structured rhythm that reflects a tradition where pattern is more than decoration — it is identity, memory and craft carried through generations of weaving. Hand knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile, this rug brings heritage, texture and a grounded tribal character into a lounge, study, bedroom or character-filled New Zealand home.

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 hand-knotted 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.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
