This antique Turkoman Yomut (Yamud) rug is a striking example of Central Asian tribal artistry, known for its fine wool and distinctive geometric patterns. The dark, almost blackish-brown field is filled with a dense lattice of small repeating diamond motifs, each containing subtle blue, ivory, and ochre accents that create a shimmering, jewel-like effect. Framing this central pattern are several narrow borders with zigzag and angular designs and wide, beautifully woven elements (end panels) at the top and bottom, featuring bold stylised tree or arrow motifs in deep red and dark blue. Woven by the Yomut tribes of Turkmenistan, this rug embodies nomadic craftsmanship, prized for its durability, rich symbolism, and understated tribal elegance.
Authentic vintage and antique Yomud 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 these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. A rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.

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!
Thanks for the seamless buying. Great rug.
