Antique Turkmen Rug 217x130cm

This vintage Turkmen rug offers a beautifully balanced composition and a harmonious colour palette, making it a versatile and decorative choice for a wide range of interiors. Woven with care and symbolic meaning, it reflects the timeless traditions of Turkmen tribal craftsmanship.

The rug features three orderly rows of octagonal guls, each intersected by a vertical pole design, with squares between the motifs that provide rhythm and structure. On either side of each octagon is a ram’s horn motif, a classic Turkmen symbol representing strength, masculinity, and protection.

One of the standout details in this piece is its multiple borders, where a subtle olive green hue adds a soft, earthy tone that enhances the rug’s warm and grounded character. The contrast between the structured central field and the layered border work gives this piece a sense of refinement and tribal authenticity.

The rug is in very good condition for its age, with some areas of low pile that add to its genuine vintage appeal. Whether used in a study, hallway, bedroom, or layered in a living space, this rug brings quiet strength and a touch of tribal storytelling.
