Turkmen 1372

Vintage Turkmen Tribal Area Rug, a magnificent example of the enduring weaving traditions of Central Asia. The rug features a traditional and highly desirable all-over pattern of small star medallions (Guls), meticulously arranged across the field. These iconic motifs are set against the "signature" brilliant red color characteristic of authentic Turkmen rugs, a rich hue that instantly commands attention. The intricate design is further enhanced by carefully chosen accent colors, including luminous ivory and striking black, which provide elegant contrast and highlight the geometric precision of the Guls.  A hallmark of its superior quality, this Turkmen rug boasts a rare and luxurious silk foundation, a feature that contributes significantly to its extremely fine weave.
