Afghan Turkoman Runner Rug - 287 × 83 cm Alternating Medallion Field
Afghan Turkoman Runner Rug - 287 × 83 cm Alternating Medallion Field
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Rhythm is the defining character of this Afghan Turkoman runner rug: blue geometric medallions travel down a warm red field, alternating with paired octagonal motifs and small hooked accents. Layered borders draw floral and angular forms together in deep blue, green, orange, cream and black, giving the long composition both discipline and vitality.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile, the runner’s narrow proportions let the design unfold as a continuous textile composition. Its measured repeat brings warmth and structure to a hallway or other narrow passage, while the colour-rich detail rewards a closer look.

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.
