Turkmen 1664

This vintage Turkmen Bokhara area rug, handwoven in the mid-20th century, is a refined and highly desirable example of classic Turkmen tribal artistry distinguished by its rare ivory field—an uncommon and sought-after departure from the traditional darker grounds typically associated with Bokhara rugs.

The surface is decorated with an elegant all-over pattern of small medallions (guls), rendered in rich red and midnight blue, creating a striking yet balanced contrast against the luminous ivory background. These repeating motifs reflect the deeply rooted visual language of Turkmen weaving, prized for its symmetry, rhythm, and timeless appeal.

A bold red border frames the composition, enriched with finely articulated geometric designs in black and cream, adding depth and architectural structure to the overall design.
