Vintage Turkmen Bokhara Handmade Rug – 194x102 cm – Red Wool Tribal Geometric Carpet

This authentic handmade rug carries the bold spirit and timeless artistry of Turkmen tribal weaving. With its deep red field, repeating gul medallions, and intricate geometric borders, it stands as both a practical floor covering and a cultural heirloom.

Each knot was tied by hand using fine wool, showcasing generations of weaving knowledge passed down through tribal traditions. This piece not only elevates interiors but also preserves a living history of nomadic craftsmanship.

This vintage Bokhara rug originates from Turkmen weaving traditions, identifiable through its iconic gul motifs—stylized octagonal medallions representing tribal unity and strength. The design is framed by multiple guard borders featuring hooked diamonds, a classic Turkmen tribal symbol for protection.

The dominant palette of deep crimson red with black, ivory, and brown highlights is characteristic of rugs from this tradition, dyed using natural pigments. The even pile and high knot density reveal skilled workmanship, while the symmetrical knotting (Turkish/Ghiordes knots) provides durability.

Its size of 194x102 cm (6.36x3.34 ft) makes it perfect as a statement piece for hallways, entryways, living rooms, or even layered with larger rugs for a curated bohemian look.
