Afghan Turkoman Wool Rug - 70 x 52 cm

Against an open red centre, three compact quartered guls appear almost like seals, each given enough space to stand clearly on its own. Their measured alignment brings calm to the field, while the surrounding floral and geometric bands build a fuller, more decorative frame around them. Hand knotted in wool, this Afghan Turkoman rug finds its character in contrast: restraint through the centre and richer movement along the borders. Ivory and green accents sharpen the gul details, while deeper outlines give the composition weight. The result is a compact tribal piece with quiet order, strong colour and beautifully balanced pattern work.
