Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A wine red field packed with round Turkmen güls, each quartered by a cross and filled with pale curled hooks, set so close that the ground survives only as narrow channels between them, with small dark cross devices standing at every junction. Very wide multi-band borders of palmettes, rosettes, dense diaper and fine cream guards frame the field. Cream fringe at both ends.

Hand-knotted in Afghanistan. The field is about three-quarters covered in drawing, and the spacing of the güls is extraordinarily consistent — measured across the width, the repeat correlates with itself at over seventy per cent, which is close to mechanical for hand work. At 202×293cm this is a large room rug, suited to a living or dining room.

100% hand-spun Afghan wool, naturally rich in lanolin, which gives it softness, a subtle sheen and a natural resistance to everyday dirt and spills. Hand-knotted in northern Afghanistan with a cream fringe at both ends.

A wine red ground is among the most forgiving colours a rug can have, and with the field three-quarters covered in drawing there is very little open surface for a mark to show against — this is among the more practical rugs for a busy room. The pale cream inside the güls is the colour that will grey first.

The güls on this rug are packed about as tightly as the design allows. Measured across the field, roughly three-quarters of the surface carries drawing and only a quarter is open red, and that quarter survives as narrow channels running between emblems rather than as anything you would call ground. Each gül is round rather than octagonal, quartered by a cross, and filled with pale curled hooks; small dark crosses sit at every junction where four of them meet.

What is remarkable is how evenly they are spaced. Run a correlation along a line across the field and the pattern matches itself at better than seventy per cent when shifted by one gül — a very high figure, meaning the spacing barely drifts from one emblem to the next. On a loom that is genuinely difficult. Knots are tied by hand and the weft is beaten down by hand, so any inconsistency in tension accumulates as the work grows, and a rug approaching three metres long gives that drift a great deal of room to show. Here it does not. The regularity is what makes a field this dense read as ordered rather than busy.
