Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A coral red field carrying a single column of Turkmen güls, closely stacked, each filled with hooked devices in salmon, cream and indigo around a bold indigo centre and outlined in a warm near-black. Hooked pendants flank them at both field edges. Wide multi-band borders of diamond diaper, star repeats and reciprocal devices in salmon, cream, indigo and black frame the field, closing with a broad diamond panel at the end. Cream fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in wool. There are two separate dark wools at work here rather than one: a warm near-black doing the outlining and a true indigo filling the gül centres. At 70×146cm this is a small rug, suited to a bedside, an entrance or a galley kitchen. A coral red ground is among the more forgiving colours for a rug that gets walked on.

100% wool pile, hand-knotted, with a natural fringe at both ends. At this size the rug is light enough to lift and shake out, which is the easiest way to keep it clean.

A coral red ground is reasonably forgiving of everyday marks. The cream inside the güls and border repeats is the vulnerable colour — it is the palest thing here and the first to grey, and on a small rug it sits right where the traffic crosses.

At a glance the dark parts of this rug all look black — the outlines round each gül, the device at each gül's centre, the small motifs threaded through the borders. They are not the same colour. Measured across the field, about a quarter of the dark wool is blue-leaning, with the blue channel sitting some twenty points above the red, while the remaining three quarters runs the other way and is genuinely warm. Two different dark wools have been used, and they have been given different jobs.

The warm near-black does the drawing: it outlines each gül and separates one colour from the next, work that wants a neutral so it does not compete. The indigo is reserved for the centres, where it reads as a colour in its own right rather than as a line. Take the rug to a window and the difference becomes obvious — the outlines stay flat and dark while the centres come up distinctly blue. Under electric light at night the two will look almost identical again, which is worth knowing before deciding where to put it.
