This antique Turkoman Bokhara rug features the classic and highly recognisable gul motif arranged in tightly repeated rows across a rich, rust-brown field. Woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic Turkoman tribes, this piece reflects a strong sense of tribal identity through its symmetrical layout, with octagonal guls framed by smaller secondary medallions and finely detailed latticework borders. The colour palette, dominated by deep, earthy, ivory, and touches of indigo and black, enhances the rug's visual rhythm and cultural authenticity. Its precise knotting, soft wool pile, and refined proportions exemplify the craftsmanship of 19th to early 20th-century Central Asian weaving traditions, making it a prized example of Bokhara artistry.
Authentic vintage and antique Turkmen rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. A rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
