Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 291 x 64 cm
Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 291 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
This Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug is built for a longer hallway or passage, where its repeated medallions can lead the eye with quiet strength. The deep red field gives the runner warmth, while the darker charcoal and burgundy detailing creates depth through the centre and border. In Turkoman weaving traditions, repeated gul-style forms are part of a visual language shaped through hand skill, memory and cultural continuity. Hand knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile, this runner reflects the steady discipline of weavers working knot by knot to create pattern, texture and direction. It brings heritage, warmth and a strong sense of movement to transitional spaces in a New Zealand home.

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.
