Antique Central Asian Turkmen Yamoud Allover Geometric Knotted Tribal Rug

Antique Turkmen Yamoud Central Asian Allover Geometric Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Central Asian, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of yamoud weaving showcases the deep, saturated palette characteristic of 19th-century Turkmen nomadic production. The field is dominated by a rich, earthy ground color, providing a dramatic backdrop for the intricate tribal motifs and powerful, repeating guls. The allover geometric design features repeating diagonal rows of stylized elements, rendered in striking contrast using rust, burnt orange, and deep indigo. The primary field color, a sophisticated shade of deep plum, suggests the use of natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time, creating an appealing patina often associated with mauve color rugs.
