About this rug

Bring home a true piece of Central Asian tribal artistry with this stunning vintage hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen rug, measuring exactly 7'2" x 10'8". Crafted by skilled Turkmen weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug is a genuine collectible textile with real history and soul. The deep jewel-toned crimson red field is boldly structured with precise rows of classic Turkmen gul medallions — the iconic octagonal star motifs that are the defining signature of authentic Turkmen tribal weaving — densely filled with geometric diamond lattice and intricate tribal filler motifs rendered entirely in rich black and deep red. The perfectly symmetrical all-over gul layout creates a mesmerizing rhythmic pattern across the entire field. The wide multi-layered border showcases classic zigzag chevron guards, running diamond chain bands, and tribal scroll motifs in deep red and black, finished with original hand-tied fringe on both ends.
