About This Rug
Turkomans are generally accepted as having inherited the oldest pile-weaving tradition still in existence. Turkomans today inhabit Iran, Turkmenistan, and northwestern Afghanistan. The essential characteristics and overall appearance of Turkoman rugs have hardly changed for centuries. They are almost always red and their designs are usually based on a repeating “gul” motif. “Gul” is the Persian word for “flower”, and it is a design element so ancient that no one can say for sure where it came from or what it originally symbolized. Each Turkoman tribe uses its own various versions of the gul.
