About This Turkaman
Where it comes from
A Turkmen rug, also written Turkoman, 206 x 158 cm (6'9" x 5'2"), woven by Turkmen communities settled in Iran. The type is recognised at once by its repeating gul medallions, small tribal emblems knotted row after row instead of gathering around a single centrepiece, and by a density of knotting that makes Turkmen weaving among the most durable of all hand-knotted rugs.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field from edge to edge, with no central medallion to gather it. In its place, small octagonal guls repeat in tight horizontal rows across the whole surface, each one outlined in navy and dark indigo and touched with mustard-gold and ivory. Look closely and pairs of hooked golden forms sit inside many of the guls, reading as small stylised flowers. A wide border in dark red, navy and pink stripes, closed by a serrated zig-zag guard, frames the field without ever pulling away from its colour.
How it was made
This regularity is the work of a fine, dense knot: between 501,000 and 640,000 to the square metre, all tied by hand and entirely from memory rather than from a drawn plan. That density is what lets each gul be drawn in such fine outline, row after row, holding its shape and colour placement with only the smallest variation, a level of control more often lost than kept in weaving done without a cartoon. The pile is sheared to six millimetres, low enough to keep every hooked form and diamond outline crisp rather than soft.
At home
At 206 x 158 cm, this rug suits a bedroom or a smaller seating corner in a living room, seen whole rather than lost under furniture. The brick red warms pale floorboards and holds its own beside dark wood or leather. Underfoot it is tight and firm, built for daily use rather than kept for best. Cross it as the light changes and the gold and navy catch differently each time.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 206 × 158 cm (3.25 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 3.25 m² that is roughly 1.6 to 2.1 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.
