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
Bright blue four-pointed motifs cut through the warm red field of this Afghan Turkoman runner rug. Between them, paired octagonal medallions carry small touches of ivory and green. The borders draw the pattern into finer detail, with close bands of red diamonds, blue and green floral forms, and ochre lines leading to the pale fringe.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile, the runner has a bold centre and borders worth lingering over. Each change in scale brings another part of its colour and geometry into view.

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.
