Classic Vintage Turkmen Carpet – Elephant Foot Design on Red Ground

This classic vintage Turkmen carpet is a timeless example of Central Asian tribal weaving. Woven with high-quality handspun wool and natural dyes, it features four striking rows of the iconic elephant foot gul, a motif deeply rooted in Turkmen heritage and symbolism.

The rich red ground is contrasted beautifully by a finely executed geometric border, while each end is framed with a row of rams horn motifs, believed to represent strength and protection. The design is harmonious, bold, and deeply evocative of nomadic tradition.

This piece’s well-balanced structure and vintage charm make it ideal for a variety of settings—from a traditional study to a modern lounge or hallway. A wonderful example of Turkmen craftsmanship and artistry.
