This antique Torkaman rug, circa 1890, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving distinguished by its classic all-over gul field and richly articulated border system. The warm terra cotta ground is enlivened by deep navy, ivory, and brown geometric motifs, showcasing the crisp drawing and rhythmic repetition prized in Turkmen weaving. Its graphic presence and collector-worthy character make it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or office.
Muted warm tones of terra cotta, brown, navy, ivory, camel, and charcoal, with a terra cotta 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.
