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.
