This hand-knotted Turkmen carpet from Turkmenistan is made of wool on cotton and measures 191 × 132 cm.
Description from the seller
This hand-knotted Turkmen rug features dense geometric ornamentation and a bold, traditional color palette. The base area is dominated by red and rust-red, complemented by high-contrast accents in dark blue, black, cream, beige, and subdued green.
The field is strictly symmetrical and displays several large, recurring geometric medallion and gul motifs, arranged in vertical rows. In between, numerous smaller stylized ornaments are found, giving the rug a very lively and detailed effect.
Particularly striking are the multi-part bordered borders. They combine small diamonds, stars, cross shapes, and other geometric elements and frame the red field clearly. The strong repetition of the motifs creates the rhythmic character typical of Turkmen rugs.
With dimensions of 191 × 132 cm, the rug is well suited for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, studies, hallways, or as a bold accent in front of a sofa or sideboard.
