This vintage Turkoman Elephant Foot rug features a classic and symmetrical layout characteristic of traditional Turkoman designs. The rug's field is adorned with multiple rows of large, octagonal “elephant foot” guls, each containing intricate geometric motifs and tribal symbols woven in dark brown against a warm, muted reddish-brown background. Between these prominent guls are smaller diamond-shaped medallions that add texture and balance to the overall composition.
The border of the rug is decorated with repeating smaller geometric patterns and motifs in complementary dark and earthy tones, framing the central field beautifully. The color palette primarily revolves around rich rust, deep browns, and subtle hints of black, emphasizing the rug's antique and handcrafted nature.
This rug is a fine example of Turkoman tribal artistry, known for its bold, repeating patterns and symbolic meaning, making it a prized collectible for enthusiasts of traditional Central Asian rugs.
Authentic vintage and antique Turkoman rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
