2695 · 2'2" x 2'6" Persian Torkaman Accent Rug
Here the field is cream, the border deep red, and the drawing is done in light brown. Woven by Torkaman weavers in the 1970s. The pile is low, which keeps the pattern crisp and the rug easy to live with. At 2'2" x 2'6" it is an accent size: a bedside, an entry, or the space in front of a chair.
Turkmen weavers in north-eastern Iran work to a strict repeating grid of gul motifs, one octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. It sounds austere and it is the opposite: because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the wool and the madder, and a good Torkaman shifts between rust, oxblood and brick as you cross the room.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colours softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
