Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

Rows of stepped gül medallions run across a deep red field, linked into the all-over repeat that gives Turkmen weaving its calm, architectural rhythm, and enclosed by a stack of geometric guard borders. The effect is orderly and grounding rather than busy — a classic tribal repeat at a generous scale.

Hand-knotted in the Turkmen tradition from 100% hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, with a dense, hard-wearing pile. The wool's natural lanolin gives a soft sheen and helps resist everyday soiling, and gentle variation in the hand-dyed reds marks it as a genuine one-of-a-kind piece. At nearly three metres long it makes a commanding anchor for a larger living or dining room.

Repeating-gül rugs like this are among the most collectible of tribal weavings, prized for the discipline of their all-over pattern. Densely knotted and built to last for generations, it works as a richly grounding centrepiece and a genuine heirloom. As a hand-made rug, it is one of a kind.

Material: 100 percent hand-spun Afghan wool, naturally rich in lanolin, which gives it softness, a subtle sheen, and a natural resistance to everyday dirt and spills.

Care instructions

  • Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
  • Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
  • Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
  • Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
  • Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.

The gül — literally flower — is the heraldic medallion of the Turkmen tribes, and for generations each clan carried its own version. Set here in orderly rows across a deep red field, the medallions turn the whole rug into a kind of tribal banner, calm and architectural rather than busy. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool, this Sherwan piece carries the subtle colour shifts and slightly irregular drawing of a rug worked entirely by eye and hand at the loom — the fingerprint of a single weaver rather than a machine.
