Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - Deep Red & Octagonal Gul, 280x79cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Bold octagonal guls rise in a measured sequence along the deep red field of this Afghan Turkoman runner rug. Dark geometric borders sharpen the elongated composition, while charcoal and deep brown accents give each emblem definition. Subtle tonal variation moves through the hand-knotted wool pile, enriching the colour, texture and patterned rhythm from end to end.
Woven in Afghanistan, this pure wool runner reflects the disciplined geometry and distinctive tribal character associated with the Turkoman tradition. Its balanced proportions and richly layered red tones create a confident decorative presence with unmistakable handmade individuality.

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.
