Afghan Turkoman Rug - 144 x 99 cm Paired Gul Rows
Afghan Turkoman Rug - 144 x 99 cm Paired Gul Rows
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Paired rows of gul medallions give this Afghan Turkoman Rug a steady, ceremonial rhythm across its deep red field. The design is compact but not flat — dark charcoal outlines, small ivory highlights and layered border geometry create a sense of depth, while the central motifs keep the eye moving cleanly through the rug.
Hand knotted in wool, this piece carries the classic Afghan Turkoman balance of repetition, symmetry and rich red colour. The slightly broader proportions give the rug a stronger floor presence than the smaller pieces, with the fringe, angled border view and folded-corner image adding a closer sense of pile, edge finish and woven structure.

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.
