7'4 x 10'6 Turkmen Yomut Design Rug | Vintage Afghan Handwoven Wool | Burgundy Gul Rows & Elem Skirt

About this rug

Woven in the manner of the great Yomut main carpets of Central Asia, this vintage piece carries neat rows of small tribal guls across a wine-burgundy field, framed by an ivory border of hooked meander motifs. True to the Yomut tradition, a wide elem skirt panel at each end displays its own distinct pattern of stylized trees and combs — a hallmark that sets these carpets apart. Handwoven in wool by Afghan weavers, it measures 7'4 x 10'6 with the subtle, aged aubergine tones collectors prize. A sophisticated tribal statement for a living room, and a conversation piece for anyone who loves Turkmen weaving.
