Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A warm cream field carrying a staggered grid of Turkmen güls in espresso brown, grey-blue and dusty rose, alternating large stepped hexagons with smaller ones between. Very wide multi-band borders of diamond diaper, hooked repeats and star-güls in brown and grey frame the field, closing at each end with a broad panel. Cream fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in wool. This is a Turkmen design with the red taken out: measured across the whole surface, not one part of the rug reaches even moderate saturation in the red range, and what reads as rose in the güls sits at about a seventh of full. At 199×254cm this is a large room rug, suited to a living or dining room.

100% wool pile, hand-knotted, with a natural fringe at both ends. Wool is resilient and forgiving underfoot, which matters on a room rug of this size that will carry furniture as well as traffic.

A warm cream ground is less forgiving than a red or dark rug, though the dense drawing across the field gives a mark a good deal to hide behind. Because the whole design is carried by tone rather than colour, keeping the cream clean matters more here than it would on a rug with strong hues to fall back on.

The Turkmen gül is a red design. Not by convention but almost by definition — the emblem was developed on madder grounds, and a Bokhara without red is like a willow-pattern plate without blue. This rug keeps every part of that scheme and removes the colour it was built for. Measured across the whole surface, not a single part of it reaches even moderate saturation anywhere in the red range; the dusty rose inside the güls sits at about a seventh of full saturation, and there is no red ground at all.

What is left has to work entirely on tone. The cream field, the espresso brown of the drawing, the grey-blue inside each emblem — the design reads through differences in lightness, the way an engraving does. Nothing has been given up to compensate: the güls keep their stepped outlines, their central oval and the small devices flanking it, the borders run several bands deep, and the staggered grid is as densely packed as it would be on a red version. The result behaves quite differently in a room. A red Bokhara announces itself and asks the rest of the furnishing to work around it; this one sits underneath everything else, and will take colour from whatever is put on it.
