Additional Information:

Turkoman Rugs are distinctive for their all over repeating motifs which are known as “Guls”, which is Persian for flower. Typically this arrangement of Guls is laid upon a background that is a shade of red. This field pattern is surrounded by a border theme with additional end border patterns (skirt).

These Turkoman Rugs have a hand-knotted wool pile knotted onto a wool foundation (i.e. the fringes are made of wool). Traditionally between the pile and fringe areas there is often a band of flat-weave that is known as Kilim.

The patterns produced are ancient: traditional tribal emblems of the Tekke (aka. Bokhara), Yamoud, Saryk, etc.
