Red & Black Stepped Diamond Turkish Rug

From our Herat collection — a single stepped diamond medallion built up in concentric outlines, held inside a hooked lattice border.

Design

The centre is a stepped diamond — not a curved medallion but one drawn in squared steps, layer inside layer, the way tribal weavers build a shape on a loom without curves. Around it the field is filled with small hooked motifs, and the outer border runs a continuous X lattice that frames the whole piece. The drawing is entirely geometric: there is not a single floral element in it.

Washing and Care

The polypropylene pile is colourfast and water-safe, so this rug can be washed at home — by hand with a hose, mild soap and a soft brush, or with a carpet-cleaning machine. Rinse it clean, squeegee the water out with the direction of the pile, and dry it flat or over a rail; it will not shrink and the colours will not run. Do not put it in a washing machine or a tumble dryer — no area rug of this size belongs in one. Day to day, vacuum on low with the beater bar switched off, and blot spills rather than rubbing them.

Weight and Feel

At 2.6 kg per square metre over a 10 mm medium pile this is a medium-weight rug — dense enough to lie flat straight out of the roll and hold its shape under furniture, light enough that one person can roll and move even the large sizes. On a smooth floor, a thin rug pad will keep it from sliding.

Styling It

A centred medallion wants to be seen, so plan the furniture around it: sofa and chairs with front legs on the rug, coffee table small enough to leave the diamond visible. The all-geometric drawing sits well with straight-lined furniture, walnut, black metal and natural wool.

Best For

Living rooms, dining rooms, entry halls and majlis seating — rooms with space in the middle, where a centred medallion has room to read.

This piece sits in the easy-care performance family — high-density polypropylene or polyester pile on a cotton foundation, precision machine-woven for sharp pattern definition with hand-finished edges. The construction is purpose-built for family-friendly living: stain-resistant, fade-resistant, low-maintenance, and forgiving of regular vacuuming and spot cleaning.

Patterns are inspired by Persian, Kashan, Tabriz, and Turkmen design vocabularies — reinterpreted in a soft synthetic blend that performs in high-traffic rooms without the maintenance commitment of a hand-knotted wool piece.

3×6 ft runner (91×200 cm) — entryways, short hallways, and bedside runs.

3×10 ft runner (91×300 cm) — standard hallways and kitchen runs.

3×13 ft runner (91×400 cm) — long hallways and grand corridors.

5×7.5 ft (150×230 cm, 3.5 m²) — entry rooms, small bedrooms, and sitting areas.

6.5×10 ft (200×300 cm, 6 m²) — medium living rooms and bedrooms with furniture partially on the rug.

8.2×11.5 ft (250×350 cm, 9 m²) — large living rooms and formal dining rooms (all furniture sitting on the rug).

10×13 ft (300×400 cm, 12 m²) — open floor plans and great rooms.

Styling tip: a rug should extend 18–24 inches beyond the sofa on each side for a balanced look.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 18–24 months
• Use a quality rug pad on hardwood for cushion and to extend life
