The pile on Baluchi and Turkoman rugs are usually clipped short by the weaver to display the detailed weaving and subtle colors.
Side cords and short fringes are in great condition.
Older Turkoman rugs are typically woven from 100% pure wool. The rugs were made by formerly nomadic tribes in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and northeastern Iran. These tribes include the Salor, Saryk, Tekke, Youmut, Arabchi, Chodor, and Ersari tribes.
These rugs tend to have a background that is red or redish-brown in color, and the motif is usually geometric.
Most Turkoman rugs feature the octagonal gul –either as large medallions or in a repeating array.
Gul is an old Persian word for flower or rose, and also appears in Turkish. Traditionally, distinctive guls indicated individual tribal affiliations. Modern versions of the gul are more generalized.
I can ship most of the rugs or offer arrangements for pickup. Shipping is $69 within the continental U.S. Or possible free pickup near Stockton – Sacramento – San Andreas – East Bay Area – San Leandro – with prior arrangement.
