The design that bears its name has been woven by Turkmen tribes in northern Afghanistan for centuries, carried across borders and kept alive by weavers who never set the craft down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis rug is hand-knotted by Turkmen weavers in northern Afghanistan from hand-spun wool on a wool foundation. The defining feature is the gul, a repeating octagonal medallion arranged in precise rows across a deep red field. Each gul is detailed with geometric interior patterns and bordered by smaller secondary motifs, creating a surface that has a strong sense of rhythm and order. The palette is built around rich reds achieved through madder root, with deep blues, ivory and black providing the contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe hand-spun wool gives the pile a natural lustre and slight variation in tone that machine-spun wool cannot replicate, and the wool on wool construction gives the rug a warmth and flexibility that only improves with time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Najaf Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43611126137088,"sku":"NR-0989","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/1805\/7216\/products\/handmade-afghan-turkmen-tekke-rug-382-x-283-cm-126-x-93-450280.jpg?v=1775382205","url":"https:\/\/www.najaf.com.au\/products\/vintage-turkmen-bokhara-rug-382-x-283-cm-126-x-93","provider":"Najaf Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
