Traditional Afghan Turkoman Wool Rug
Rich in colour, detail, and traditional character, this handmade Afghan Turkoman rug showcases the intricate geometric artistry for which Turkoman-inspired weaving is renowned. Its deep red field is filled with repeating medallion motifs, framed by multiple detailed borders that give the rug an elegant sense of symmetry and depth.
The striking palette of crimson red, burgundy, black, and subtle ivory accents creates a sophisticated yet unmistakably traditional appearance. From a distance, the repeating motifs form a beautifully balanced composition; up close, the fine details reveal the craftsmanship that makes handmade Afghan rugs so distinctive.
Crafted from 100% wool, this rug offers natural warmth, durability, and a beautifully textured feel. Unlike a flatweave Kilim, its traditional rug construction gives it a more substantial presence, making it an excellent centrepiece for living rooms, bedrooms, studies, formal sitting areas, and other carefully curated interiors.
At approximately 8.1 x 5.8 ft, it offers versatile proportions for anchoring a seating arrangement, sitting beneath a coffee table, or creating a rich focal point within a room.
More than simply a floor covering, this handmade Afghan rug represents generations of traditional craftsmanship and brings authentic cultural character into the home.

Materials + Care
Each of our rugs is handwoven from high-quality, natural wool, dyed using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. Because they are crafted by hand, every rug is unique, with slight variations that add to its authenticity and charm. To care for your rug, vacuum regularly on a gentle setting and rotate it every few months for even wear. Avoid machine washing — for spills, blot gently with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Professional cleaning is recommended for deeper care to preserve the beauty and longevity of your rug.
Shipping + Returns
We ship all orders within 4–8 business days within Australia and 7–14 business days internationally. Every rug is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
If for any reason you’d like to return or exchange your purchase, we welcome it — customers are responsible for return postage, and the rug must be sent back in its original condition. Once we’ve received and inspected the item, your refund will be processed promptly.
