This antique circa 1920 Torkaman rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving distinguished by its striking prayer-format composition and richly saturated red field. Intricate geometric motifs, stepped borders, and finely drawn guard bands showcase the crisp, hand-knotted character and bold graphic presence prized in Turkmen rugs. Its compact 4' x 5' size makes it an ideal accent for an entryway, office, or bedroom.
Vibrant warm tones of rust, crimson, ivory, black, terra cotta, and mahogany, with a rust field.
Torkaman (also Turkoman) rugs are produced by the various Turkmen tribes of Central Asia — Tekke, Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and others — across a broad territory spanning Turkmenistan, northern Afghanistan, and northeastern Iran. Each tribe has its own distinctive gul (emblem) and compositional vocabulary, making Torkaman rugs a rich field for collectors and scholars.
They are woven on a wool foundation with a medium-to-long pile and predominantly natural dyes, with the deep madder red that characterizes so much Turkmen work derived from the madder plant. Their strict geometric order, superb wool, and tribal authenticity make them among the most compelling of all Oriental rugs.
