A column of three diamond guls in cream and near-black runs down this remarkable rug. A column of three splendid diamond guls in cream and near-black runs down the deep red field. The main border is burgundy, carrying rows of cream and near-black triangles within a strict grid, edged by navy stripes. Every part of the face and the drawing keeps a full pile. The dense drawing holds the red and cream in a tight, graphic balance. At 2'2" by 2'11", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.
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.
About Torkaman rugs
A Turkmen girl was already an experienced weaver by the time she was old enough to marry, often shortly before she turned twenty. For a wedding Turkmen women wove tasseled trappings for the camel that carried the bride from her father’s tent to that of her new husband. Torkaman rugs from northeastern Persia are built on a strict repeating grid of gul motifs, with almost no variation from one figure to the next. Because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the color. Here three diamond guls sit in a vertical line, and the red stays strong against the cream and near-black outlines.

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 colors 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.
