Description
A timeless piece of Afghan craftsmanship, the Aktscha vintage rug is hand-knotted by Turkmen artisans in northern Afghanistan’s Jowzjan province. Its fiery red tones and distinctive “Gül” (Elephant’s Foot) motifs evoke traditional heritage, while the deep pile offers comfort underfoot. Woven with a wool base weave with natural fibres like goat and horse hair, each rug reflects generations of nomadic artistry and character.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Rezas Vintage Aktscha rug for its rich colour and authentic vintage appeal, which makes it a versatile piece to anchor both traditional and eclectic interiors. Its deep red tones add warmth and depth, making it ideal for living rooms or dining areas that need an inviting focal point. The rug’s size is perfect for larger spaces or as a statement piece under a dining table or in a generous lounge. For styling tips, pair it with neutral furniture to let the rug stand out, or combine with other vintage or textured accessories for a layered look. It’s also quite practical, as its durability makes it suitable for high-traffic areas. Overall, it’s a timeless piece that adds character without overwhelming a room.

About Heal's
Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
