Turkmen Rug

High-quality Tribal Rugs of Turkmen, a Well-known Style among Carpet lovers

Turkmen tribe surrounded a part of Central Asia, mainly Turkmenistan country, north and northeast of Iran, and northwest of Afghanistan, speaking in Turkmen language and primarily living a nomadic life. The Persian Turkmen tribe has different clans, such as Yomut, Ersari Saryk, and Tekke, with different rules, flags, and unique productions. Their geographic situation and horse breeding care caused various carpets to be produced for different uses and places like beautiful, unique horse supplies, tent curtains, floor rugs, and cushions.
Among other styles, Turkmen rug (also known as Turkoman rug)  designs have remarkable unity and harmony with limited well-dyed colors that show their impellent and militant natures. As they migrate, their looms are horizontal and portable and make small sizes carpets with wooly piles and cotton warp and weft and natural dyeing with herbs and vegetables from meadows in their environment. Colors and motifs are nearly limited but unique and include geometrical shapes as an abstract form of flowers in mostly Red and black colors. Like other tribal rugs, the source of all Persian Turkmen rug designs is the weaver's mind.
One of the most popular carpets of Turkmen tribes that mainly is produced and woven by Tekke family is Bokhara rug. The "Bokhara" pattern is one of the original designs in Turkmen carpets woven by Tekke clans in a red or tan background with Gul motifs.

The Story of Turkmen Rugs

Despite the Turkmen tribe's sedentary residence in Turkmenistan, many of the people of this tribe live in the northeast of Iran. They mainly responded to their needs by horse breeding until machinery entered people's daily life. Nowadays carpet industry has an important place in their economic life.
Different sub-tribes of Turkmen have weavings of different carpets. The main clans of Turkmen in Iran include Yumud and Tekke families. Also, there are two other families named Atabay and Jafarbay. They all live in dome-shaped tents called "yurts," and women wear glorious amethystine clothes with unique jewelry. Men also help women in carpet weavings by using handspun wool of their herds and natural dyestuff. Tekke rugs are considered as best rugs of Persian Turkmen carpets with two wefts and fine wools, and sometimes they use silk in their carpets. After Tekke rugs, Yumud produces fine carpets in large amounts for trading. A common motif in their rugs is called "The eyes of gazelle" or "Bokhara," which are very popular in their carpet productions. Also, a design with a 4 season style is popular among Tekke weavers.
Turkmen express their life, history, nature, and beliefs on their rug in the color red, which symbolize their militant lifestyle and their love stories among families.
