Torkaman oriental rug 248 x 340 cm

Nomadic tribes in Turkmenistan are known for crafting Torkaman wool rugs—short-pile, hand-knotted rugs characterised by bold borders and a restrained colour palette of deep reds, blacks, and natural whites. Their detailed geometric patterns often symbolise elements of nomadic life, including animals, plants, and stars. Well-known Torkaman styles include Basjir, Salor, Tekke, Tjaudor, and Yomut.
