About Persian Turkoman Rugs

Persian Turkoman rugs are known for their bold, tribal aesthetics and deep cultural symbolism. Woven by Turkoman tribes in northeastern Persia, these rugs are most easily recognized by their repetitive “gul” motifs—stylized medallions that often represent tribal insignias. Traditionally crafted using high-quality wool and a rich palette dominated by reds and rusts, these rugs were both utilitarian and deeply expressive. Their symmetrical knotting and geometric layouts give them a structured feel, while still retaining the charm of nomadic artistry.
