Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 298 x 58 cm
Afghan Turkoman Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 298 x 58 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 has a slim, refined presence, designed for narrow spaces where length, rhythm and colour matter. The deep red field carries repeated gul-style medallions through the centre, giving the runner a steady visual flow from end to end, while the darker geometric border adds structure without making the piece feel heavy. In Turkoman weaving traditions, these repeated forms are part of a visual language shaped through hand skill, continuity and cultural memory. Hand knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile, this runner reflects the patience of weavers building pattern line by line into the surface. It brings warmth, heritage and quiet direction to a hallway, entrance, bedside or long passage 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 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.
