About This Turkaman
Where it comes from
This is a Turkmen tribal rug, 201 x 150 cm (6'7" x 4'11"), woven in Iran, also called Turkoman. The type is known for its gul medallions, tribal emblems repeated across a deep red ground, and for a knot density that makes it among the most durable of hand-knotted rugs. Here the repeat does not run on forever — it comes to a stop.
What you see
A deep brick red, edged toward burgundy, fills the field. Across it a lattice of small guls repeats in vertical panels, each outlined in dark navy and black, the diamonds and hooks between them picked out in ivory and cream. Two banded strips of serrated chevron break the lattice, and at one end an elem panel opens into larger stepped medallions in rust and pink. A wide stacked border in red, ivory and black, worked in meander and diamond, frames the whole.
How it was made
This rug was knotted entirely by hand, from memory rather than a drawn plan, on a loom light enough to travel with the weaver. Density reaches 501,000–640,000 knots per square metre, high for wool and close to what is usually reserved for silk — enough to keep the gul outlines sharp and give the lattice its fine ribbing. The pile is hand-spun wool, clipped to 6 mm, matte rather than sheared flat. The same memory for pattern carries through to the elem panel at one end.
At home
Sized for a bedroom or a quiet reading corner, this rug is meant to be seen underfoot, not walked past. Its deep red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor equally. Dense and tightly clipped, the pile is firm underfoot, made for daily use rather than careful protection. Morning light picks out the ivory bands and the elem panel's rust, and the balance of the design keeps shifting gently through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 201 × 150 cm (3.01 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 3.01 m² that is roughly 1.5 to 1.9 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.
