This vintage Turkestan hallway wool rug features a bold and symmetrical tribal design, characteristic of Central Asian weaving traditions. Set against a warm terracotta field, the rug displays a striking series of large stepped hexagonal medallions, each enclosing a stylised octagonal motif flanked by hooked arms and symbolic elements. The earthy palette features soft browns, muted olives, and deep rusts, all derived from natural dyes, resulting in a grounded and harmonious aesthetic.
The borders are filled with intricate geometric bands featuring cross motifs, small floral rosettes, and repeating lozenges that frame the central axis with rhythmic precision. The elongated format and hand-knotted wool construction make it both durable and ideal for narrow spaces, such as corridors or entryways. This piece captures the rugged beauty and cultural identity of traditional Turkestan craftsmanship.
Authentic vintage and antique Turkestan rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
