This gorgeous antique Turkmen Yomut (Yamout) rug is a true gem of nomadic artistry, prized for its refined tribal geometry and deep, earthy elegance. Woven by the Yomut tribes of Turkmenistan, it features a classic repeating gul motif, distinctive octagonal medallions arranged in an orderly lattice across a warm, rust-brown field.

The design is highlighted with rich tones of terracotta, dusty rose, charcoal, and soft ivory, brought to life by natural dyes and softened beautifully with age. The main border is adorned with a striking ram's horn pattern, a symbol of strength and protection, flanked by floral and abstract tribal emblems that add layers of symbolism and history.

Crafted in hand-spun wool with a supple handle and low pile, this antique Yomut rug offers a perfect balance of aesthetic richness and cultural depth. A timeless piece that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors with character and warmth.

Authentic vintage and antique Turkoman Yamout rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
