01Where the drawing comes from

Made for a house that could fold.

This drawing first dressed tent hangings, the long bands that held the frame and the bags a family carried. It descends through work with a job to do, taught hand to hand rather than from a page.

Red Red Turkmen Hand-Knotted Wool Rug

02The tradition

Turkmen

Geometric güls and small motifs stand in disciplined rows, usually on a deep red or brown ground, with narrow repeating borders. The drawing is angular and dense, and the colour is concentrated rather than spread.

Good to know

Size, colour, carriage, and what one of one means.

The six answers a buyer wants before a rug of this value leaves İstanbul. Anything else, ask us.

Every question, answered
When does it leave, and when does it arrive?

It is dispatched from İstanbul within one to two business days of your order and travels by air courier — at your door within three to five days of dispatch, customs permitting. We write with the carrier and the tracking number on the day it leaves.

Will the colour be exactly what I see in the photographs?

Close, and never quite even. Hand-dyed wool shifts a little across a field rather than holding one flat tone, and where the dye is a natural one that shift has a name — abrash. It is evidence of how the colour was made rather than a fault in it. Every piece page names its dye and says what that dye does, so you can read what you are looking at.

Can I send it back?

Fourteen days from delivery. No reason is required and none will be asked for. Write to us and we book the collection with the same courier; return carriage is at your cost, and the refund goes to the card you paid with, in full, once the piece is back with us.

What does one of one mean here?

The rug in the photographs is the rug that arrives, with its own reference, its own measurements and its own irregularities. The drawing is older and is shared — a piece carrying it may have been woven at another size. Ask, and we will say what there is.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the seating group rather than the room — a rug wants at least the front feet of the seating standing on it. Every piece is listed at its exact size, in the system you measure in, so you can hold those figures against the floor you have. Under a dining table, allow for the chairs drawn back; beside a bed, let the rug run out where feet actually land.

What if nothing listed fits the room?

A rug can be made. Tell us the room, the size and what it has to live with, and we will say what is possible and what it would cost before anything is begun. A custom rug is made for you and cannot be returned.
