About the Item

79164 Antique Persian Turkoman Rug, 04'05 x 07'00. Bold and luminous, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Turkoman rug radiates with the fiery heart of tribal history. Woven by the Turkmen people of northeast Persia, its field is steeped in a rich crimson red—an enduring symbol of vitality and protection. The design unfolds in perfect cadence, with rows of meticulously rendered Tekke gul motifs, each enclosed in dark, geometric precision. These motifs, ancient tribal emblems, are more than pattern—they are the silent language of identity, carried across generations on camelback and committed to wool with devotion. This Turkoman rug’s composition pulses with symmetry and ritual. The interconnected octagonal guls form a visual rhythm, tethered together like a constellation of symbols written in starlight. In the open spaced areas, subtle four-part fans whisper an esoteric narrative, suggesting balance and direction. Framing the field is a series of intricate borders: one echoing the protective running dog motif and another adorned with delicate rosettes, grounding the powerful field in a sense of containment and completeness. Each border holds its own chapter of the story, layered with history and meaning. The deep red, offset by inky blue-black and soft beige, reflects the use of time-honored natural dyes—collected from the earth, the roots, and the wind-whipped plants of the Central Asian steppes. The wool, sheared and hand-spun by the weavers themselves, retains its soft luster, enhanced by decades of respectful aging. There is a ceremonial elegance in the contrast, as if the rug were woven not just for warmth and beauty, but to serve as a guardian of memory and spirit beneath the shelter of a yurt. To place this Turkoman rug in a space is to invite in a sense of mystery and wonder—a remnant of nomadic life preserved in textile form. It does not merely decorate; it speaks, softly but firmly, of endurance, belonging, and craftsmanship that defies time. Whether laid across stone, wood, or tile, this antique masterpiece transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, anchoring the room with its presence and enchanting all who pass across its path. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'05 x 07'00. Pile Height: 0.19 of an inch. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
