About This Turkaman
Where it comes from
This is a Turkmen prayer rug, also known as Turkoman or Tekke work, 128 x 106 cm (4'2" x 3'6"), from the nomadic weavers of Central Asia. The type is best known for its repeating gul medallions on a deep red ground, tribal emblems unique to each clan. Here the weaver has taken that same vocabulary and pointed it toward a single focus.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, sharpened by dark navy and lifted by ivory, with lighter denim-blue notes in the guls and border. The layout is a stepped mihrab arch, its sides narrowing steadily until they meet at the top. That arch is built from a chevron of small diamonds, each one a miniature gul, marching upward until they converge on a single diamond medallion at the point. Around it all runs a wide frame of narrow stacked stripes in red, ivory and navy.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, handspun wool pile on a cotton warp, at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, toward the finer end for tribal work. That density is what let the chevron narrow so precisely without the diamonds losing their shape as they shrink toward the apex. The wool carries a light natural lustre rather than a high sheen, and at six millimetres the pile sits low and firm underfoot, a construction built for wear.
At home
At just over a metre, it suits a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a reading chair, somewhere seen up close rather than crossed at a distance. The red holds its own against dark furniture and warms a pale floor without much light. The knot is dense enough for daily footsteps, and wherever it sits, the eye keeps returning to the point where the pattern comes to rest.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 128 × 106 cm (1.36 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 1.36 m² that is roughly 600,000 to 680,000 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.
