Turkoman Rug – This elegant handknotted oriental silk rug (120 x 180 cm) is a refined statement of traditional artistry, woven by two expert weavers in Turkmenistan’s Lebap province. Featuring the intricate Tekke tribal motif, this red silk rug shimmers and shifts color with the light, thanks to its luxurious silk composition.
Crafted entirely from silk pile and silk foundation, this rug offers approx. 210 knots per square inch, resulting in crisp details and a smooth, velvety texture. Lightweight yet durable, this handmade rug is ideal for formal living spaces, bedrooms, and interiors seeking a sophisticated, timeless appeal.
A true collectible piece, this Turkoman silk rug blends cultural legacy with high-end elegance.
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.
