Handknotted wool runner rug (84 x 207 cm) is a powerful symbol of national identity and artisan heritage. Woven by two skilled weavers over 414 hours in Dashoguz, Turkmenistan, it features the traditional Tekke pattern, famously incorporated into the Flag of Turkmenistan — a motif that honors the Choudor tribe and the country’s deep weaving legacy.
Made from 100% wool with a sturdy wool foundation, this rug offers approx. 160 knots per square inch. With its bold red tones and elongated form, it’s ideal for hallways, entryways, or ceremonial spaces. Fire-resistant and naturally dirt-repellent, this Turkmen rug combines symbolism, durability, and style in one unforgettable piece.
A collector’s treasure and a cultural statement — this runner rug is a woven tribute to Turkmenistan’s proud textile tradition.
Please ignore any creases on the rug, as these are due to it being tightly packed during transit. The creases will naturally disappear within about a week once the rug is laid flat and walked upon. Additionally, please note that colors may slightly differ from the images shown due to lighting conditions and screen settings.

How do I care for my handmade rug?
During the weaving process, handmade rugs remain on the loom for an extended period. Over time, this can lead to a buildup of microscopic dust particles within the fibers — often invisible to the naked eye. As the rug is used, these particles gradually rise to the surface. With regular vacuuming, these fine particles are removed, revealing the rug’s true colors and natural vibrancy.
Unlike mass-produced carpets, handmade rugs don’t wear out with use — in fact, they get better. As you walk on them and care for them properly, the fibers become softer, the colors deepen, and the rug develops even more character. With the right maintenance, a handmade rug doesn’t just last — it becomes more beautiful and valuable with time.
If you're storing your wool rug for an extended period, it’s important to let it breathe. Every 3–4 months, take the rug out, lay it in the sun for a few hours, and allow it to air out. This helps prevent moisture buildup, discourages moths, and keeps the wool fibers fresh and healthy. Proper storage and occasional sunlight can significantly extend the life of your rug.
Returns & Exchanges
Since shipping is one-way and costs are significant, we do not offer returns or exchanges. To ensure your satisfaction, we send detailed videos and photos of the rugs before shipping.
