Dating back to the 5th century, Turkmen rugs were originally woven by the nomadic tribes of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and northern Afghanistan. Renowned for their stunning detail and exceptional quality, Turkmen rugs make for a timeless addition to any home.
These carpets are traditionally crafted from hand-spun wool that is dyed using natural pigments derived from plants and minerals. Production is labor-intensive, where artisans meticulously hand-tie each knot to create dense piles. The resulting textile is a highly-detailed woven masterpiece with a thick, plush feel.
This beautifully crafted piece features geometric patterns and an earth-toned color profile. Handcrafted and steeped in tradition, Turkmen rugs are a durable yet exquisite embodiment of woven artistry we know you will enjoy for years to come.
Due to their vintage quality, each rug possesses unique character and heirloom quality.
