Description
Antique Beshir Carpet – Rare Turkmen Tribal Rug with Persianate Influence, Natural Dyes & Expert Restoration
This remarkable antique Beshir carpet is a rare and exquisite example of Turkmen weaving, combining the rich tribal heritage of the Beshir people with refined Persianate influences from Central Asia. Known for their artistic detail and deep cultural symbolism, Beshir carpets stand apart within the Turkmen weaving tradition for their elegance and sophisticated composition.
Woven from high-quality handspun wool, this piece features a luxurious sheen and a beautifully saturated palette achieved through the use of natural plant-based dyes. The intricate field is adorned with highly stylized motifs—reflecting a unique blend of nomadic and urban design sensibilities—that lend this carpet its distinguished, timeless character.
What makes this Beshir carpet especially notable is the care and quality of its preservation. Approximately 5 cm of one end has been expertly rewoven, while the opposite end has undergone a careful 10 cm restoration. In addition, a number of smaller areas within the field have been sensitively repiled to maintain the visual and structural integrity of the rug—all completed by master restorers.
Ideal for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs of antique carpets, this Beshir rug offers both decorative impact and historic value. Its refined artistry and resilient craftsmanship make it a stunning centrepiece for a sophisticated interior, whether displayed on the floor or as a wall-mounted textile.
