Turkmenistan Carpets

When speaking about Turkmenistan Carpets we mean carpets manufactured in some different places like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, East Turkistan, Afghanistan and Belutchistan.

The Turkmenistan Rugs are:

Basjir, Salor, Tekke, Tjaudor and Yomut carpets, which are all examples of carpet styles thatused to be called Buchara carpets.

 

 

The most wellknown Turkmenistan carpet districts are:

• Ashkabad
• Bakharden
• Gueok-Tepe
• Kizyl-Arvat
• Merv

Also Afghan, Beluch and East Turkestan carpets are sometimes reckoned as Turkmenistan carpets.

What distinguishes the Turkmenistan rugs is that the warp is made of wool with repeated patterns with “göl-motifs” and it often has wider borders on the short sides and not on the longer sides.

The whole scale of red from purple to brown is a dominating colour.

Tekke-Bochara, Ersar, Tschoval, Beshir and Jolam-Bocharaband are all examples of Turkmenistan rugs.
