Vintage Handmade Persian Turkmen Gul Wool Rug – 145 × 105 cm (4'9" × 3'5")

70–80 Years Old • Fine Hand-Spun Wool • Silk Foundation • Traditional Turkmen Gul Design • Hand Knotted

A beautiful vintage handmade Persian Turkmen tribal rug, approximately 70–80 years old, featuring an attractive all-over arrangement of traditional Turkmen gul motifs.

Expertly hand knotted using very fine hand-spun wool on a silk foundation, this distinctive rug combines traditional tribal craftsmanship with particularly fine natural materials.

Traditional Turkmen Gul Design

The rug features a classic all-over Turkmen gul design, one of the most recognisable patterns associated with traditional Turkmen weaving.

Gul motifs are geometric emblems traditionally arranged in balanced, repeating compositions. Their strong outlines and carefully structured placement give Turkmen rugs their distinctive decorative character.

This attractive piece offers the timeless appeal of Persian tribal weaving, making it suitable for traditional homes, country houses and contemporary interiors where an authentic handmade rug can provide warmth and individuality.

Measuring 145 × 105 cm (approximately 4'9" × 3'5"), the rug is a versatile smaller size, ideal for a bedroom, study, sitting room or beside a favourite armchair.

Fine Hand-Spun Wool on a Silk Foundation

One of the most appealing features of this rug is its traditional construction.

The pile is made from very fine hand-spun wool, a natural material valued for its warmth, texture and durability.

The rug is woven on a silk foundation, an especially interesting feature that distinguishes it from many traditional Turkmen rugs made on cotton or wool foundations.

Approximately 70–80 years old, this rug has the character and individuality associated with older handmade Persian tribal pieces.

It has been professionally hand washed and cleaned, is ready for immediate use and is described as suitable for heavy domestic use.
