Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 236 x 64 cm
Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 236 x 64 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
The pattern moves like a measured procession. Small oval guls travel through the red ground in paired rows, interrupted by slender cruciform ornaments and flashes of ivory, muted green and pale blue. Around them, burgundy and charcoal borders gather the composition into a dark, finely worked frame.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this Turkoman runner makes repetition feel deliberate rather than rigid. Its narrow proportions amplify the rhythm of the motifs, while the restrained secondary colours reveal themselves gradually as the eye follows the weave.

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.
