This rug radiates strength and balance. Its octagonal gul medallions are like miniature fortresses, each enclosing cross motifs that echo celestial navigation and tribal identity. The palette shifts between earthy brick red, glowing ivory, and midnight blue with sparks of turquoise, as if capturing the colors of a desert night. The borders are alive with zigzag geometry, a protective frame against chaos, holding the energy of the inner field in place. Compact in size yet monumental in presence, this rug embodies the proud clarity of Turkmen craft.

Why you’ll love it:
Perfect for an intimate room, study, or reading corner, this rug delivers gravitas in a smaller format. It marries symmetry and symbolism, making it as intellectually satisfying as it is visually rich.
