Antique Salor Bokhara Turkoman Rug

About the Item

Turkoman rugs and carpets are woven in the region east of the Caspian Sea known as West Turkestan, populated by nomadic tribes. The design element that distinguishes this type of rug is the gul medallion, which is usually octagonal in shape, and includes smaller geometric elements inside. These medallions are used as field decorations often arranged in parallel or offset columns. Each tribe had their own distinctive tribal emblem or gul. This late 19th century example is a product of the Salor tribe, who are described as being the most noble and aristocratic of the Turkmen tribes. They initially settled in Anatolia, and this may account for the similarities between early Turkish and Turkoman rugs and carpets. This rug has two distinct gul medallions on a madder field, 4' 4" x 3' 4".
