About This Turkaman
Where it comes from
A Turkoman rug — also written Turkmen — hand-knotted by tribal weavers of north-eastern Iran, 272 x 210 cm (8'11" x 6'11"). The type is recognised everywhere for its repeating gul medallions, tribal emblems unique to each clan, set traditionally on a deep red ground and knotted so densely that Turkoman weavings count among the most durable of all hand-made rugs.
What you see
Here the ground breaks from that convention: a deep navy field carries row upon row of octagonal guls in rust-red and burnt orange, each outlined in ivory. The guls repeat in a strict grid, closely enough spaced that the rows read almost as one continuous lattice. A wide, multiply framed border follows in dark brick red, its narrow cream and geometric guard stripes stepping the pattern back from the dark field.
How it was made
Turkoman weavers work from memory rather than a drawn plan, carrying a clan's gul by hand and eye. What is unusual here is how precisely that memory has been kept: knot counts run to 501,000–640,000 per square metre, dense enough to let each gul sit crisp and square rather than soften into the looser rhythm typical of tribal work. The pile is hand-spun wool at six millimetres, kept low and flat, so the surface reads matte and the pattern stays sharp underfoot.
At home
A rug this size suits a living room or study, laid under a seating group or a desk and chairs. The navy field holds its own against dark wood and pale floors alike, while the rust and burnt orange guls keep the eye moving across the surface. Underfoot it is dense, firm and flat, made for daily use rather than careful stepping-around. As light crosses it through the day, the guls hold their colour against a navy that never changes.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 272 × 210 cm (5.71 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre; across 5.71 m² that is roughly 2.9 to 3.7 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
