About the Item

An early 20th-century Persian Yamout rug, handwoven in a distinctive tribal vocabulary, with a series of stylized floral medallions arranged in a rhythmic grid across a warm brown field. The medallions are rendered in shades of crimson, white, indigo, and orange—colors that stand out boldly against the darker ground. The border is particularly compelling, featuring a central band of stylized flowers flanked by two wave-patterned stripes, a classic Yamout motif that adds a sense of movement and energy to the composition. Yamout (or Yomut) rugs are woven by the Yamout Turkmen, a nomadic people historically living in northeastern Iran, near the border with Turkmenistan. Traditionally woven by women on ground looms, these rugs are known for their geometric precision, earthy color palettes, and tribal symbolism. Made for daily use in tents and homes, they carry a quiet strength and sense of identity—each one the product of deep tradition, practiced skill, and personal expression.
