Beshir rugs are produced by Uzbek and Turkmen weavers along the Amu Darya River in Central Asia. Unlike the more austere red-ground Turkmen work, Beshir rugs are notable for their relative complexity and variety — incorporating blue and gold grounds, lattice field patterns, pomegranate motifs, and Chinese-influenced cloud bands that reflect the cultural crossroads of the Silk Road.
They are woven on a wool foundation with a medium pile and tend toward a more curvilinear drawing than other Turkmen work. Antique Beshir pieces are prized by collectors for their unusual color combinations and their distinctive fusion of Central Asian and Persian design vocabulary.
