Turkmen carpets have long been prized for their bold tribal motifs, deep colours, and remarkable versatility—equally at home in traditional libraries, elegant dining rooms, or curated collector spaces.
This antique Yamoud Turkmen rug, dated 1899 (inscribed in three places at one end), is a particularly fine example of the type. Woven with meticulous care and high-quality handspun wool, it showcases an all-over Kepse Gul design across a rich red field, exuding depth and cultural significance.
Framing the field is a beautifully drawn vine and curled leaf border on a soft cream background, offering contrast and refinement that elevates the entire composition. The border’s fluidity complements the strong geometry of the guls, creating a harmonious and eye-catching layout.
The vibrant tones and clarity of pattern are the result of natural vegetable dyes, which not only lend a depth and warmth to the colours but have aged gracefully over time. Despite being over 120 years old, the rug remains in very good condition, with a fine weave that speaks to the weaver’s skill and the quality of the materials.
Whether placed beneath a dining table, in a reading room, or displayed as a prized antique, this piece offers both aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
