Turkmen rugs are distinctive handmade carpets originating from the nomadic tribes of Turkmenistan, northern Iran, and Afghanistan. They are a celebrated hallmark of Central Asian weaving traditions, with a history dating back hundreds of years. They were traditionally created by nomadic Turkmen tribes such as the Tekke, Ersari, Salor, and Yomut, who were skilled in creating intricate, durable textiles for both practical and decorative purposes. Turkman rugs are characterised by their repetitive geometric motifs known as guls. Each tribe has its own signature gul patterns, making these rugs highly symbolic and unique. The patterns often tell stories of the tribe’s history, culture, and identity. The rugs typically feature a warm colour palette dominated by deep reds, rich browns, and earthy tones, accented by lighter hues like ivory, blue, or green. The natural dyes from plants, minerals, and insects ensure lasting vibrancy. Known for their fine knots and compact weaving, Turkman rugs are renowned for their durability and the precision of their designs. They are typically woven using hand-spun wool, ensuring a soft texture and exceptional quality. Originally, Turkman rugs were woven for domestic use, serving as floor coverings, blankets, or wall hangings in nomadic tents called yurts. Turkmen rugs remain a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Turkmen people.
