Bring centuries of Central Asian artistry into your home.
This authentic hand-knotted Afghan Turkman rug, with its deep madder-red field and mesmerizing Tekke gul pattern, is a true one-of-a-kind heirloom that will grace your space for generations.
Authentic History & Heritage
Turkman / Tekke origin – This design descends from the fabled weaving tribes of northern Afghanistan and Turkmenistan.
Centuries-old patterns – The field is filled with gul medallions, a tribal emblem that once denoted family lineage and nomadic pride.
Natural materials & dyes – Local high-land wool is hand-spun and dyed with traditional madder-root reds and natural indigo/iron for the deep navy and near-black outlines.
Artistic Description
Primary color palette – A luminous ruby-madder ground framed by a triple border of ivory, midnight blue, and brick-red accents.
Allover Tekke gul layout – Dozens of geometric octagons repeat in perfect symmetry, giving a mesmerizing rhythm across the surface.
Finishing details – Hand-knotted white fringe at each end and a finely stepped “running dog” inner border add a classic finishing touch.
Weave quality – Typically 150 – 200 knots per square inch, yielding crisp outlines and a supple yet durable handle.
Craftsmanship & Use
One-of-a-kind – Every knot was tied by hand over several months on a traditional ground loom. No two are identical.
Premium wool – High-altitude Ghazni wool is naturally rich in lanolin, giving the rug a soft sheen and natural stain resistance.
Versatile size – Ideal for an entryway, study, under a coffee table, or as a striking wall hanging.
Care & Longevity
Vacuum lightly with the beater bar off.
Rotate every few months for even wear.
Professionally clean every 3-5 years. With basic care, a fine Turkman like this will last generations and can appreciate in value.
Why Collectors Love It
Collectors prize Tekke rugs for their deep madder reds and precise, jewel-like motifs.
Because this piece was woven in a smaller village workshop—not a factory—it embodies the authentic look and lasting quality that machine-made imitations cannot match.
