10232 Fine Persian Turkoman Rug 140x188cm (4.7 x 6.2ft)

Very finely woven authentic Persian Turkoman Rug - this type of rug is from Khorassan (meaning "coming of the sun"), a province in north eastern Persia.  They are wool on wool and have excellent wool quality giving a beautiful soft pile.  This piece has silk warps/fringes which is why it is so fine. This quality rug measures approximately 140x188cm (4.7 x 6.2ft) - we love the bright reds in this finely woven piece.

Mostly these handmade Persian rugs would be in rich shades of red, terracottas or browns with hints of creams, blacks, blue or greens. The design is normally a very distinctive geometric Tekke or Yomut all over design, descriptions taken from the names of the Turkoman Tribes that live in north east Persia. These sheep rearing tribes would live on pasturelands throughout Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan but many also live on the northern steppes of Persia.
