Vintage Overdyed Persian Turkmen Wool Carpet – Beige, Brown & Ivory – 350 × 260 cm

A Beautiful Vintage Persian Carpet with Timeless Character

An outstanding vintage handmade Persian Turkmen carpet, beautifully overdyed to create a sophisticated, softly aged appearance in an elegant combination of beige, brown, light grey and ivory.

Featuring a traditional all-over Turkmen Gul design, this impressive carpet combines the artistic heritage of Persian weaving with the understated elegance of contemporary interior design.

Measuring 350 × 260 cm (approximately 11'6" × 8'6"), this generously proportioned carpet is ideal for spacious living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and reception areas.

Approximately 70–80 years old, the carpet has been hand-knotted using very fine wool on a cotton foundation, with an estimated knot density of approximately 100 knots per square inch (KPSI).

Its beautiful vintage appearance, traditional craftsmanship and subtle neutral colours make it a distinctive decorative piece for both classic and contemporary homes.

Traditional Persian Turkmen Weaving Heritage

Persian Turkmen carpets are celebrated for their distinctive geometric patterns, traditional tribal motifs and rich weaving heritage.

The Turkmen weaving tradition is particularly recognised for its repeated geometric ornaments known as Guls.

These traditional motifs are carefully arranged across the carpet's field, creating balanced geometric compositions and a distinctive decorative appearance.

Unlike Persian carpets featuring large central medallions or elaborate floral patterns, traditional Turkmen carpets often display repeating geometric motifs throughout the entire design.

This carpet features a beautiful all-over Gul composition, offering symmetry, rhythm and traditional decorative character.

The overdyed finish softens the original appearance, creating an attractive balance between historic craftsmanship and contemporary styling.

Very Fine Hand-Knotted Wool – Traditional Craftsmanship

This carpet has been traditionally hand-knotted using very fine wool on a cotton foundation.

Wool is appreciated for its natural warmth, softness and resilience, while the cotton foundation provides structural support.

With an estimated knot density of approximately 100 KPSI, the carpet reflects the established weaving techniques associated with Persian Turkmen carpets.

Hand-knotted carpets are valued for their individual craftsmanship and the subtle variations that distinguish handmade pieces from machine-produced floor coverings.

Beautiful Overdyed Finish – Beige, Brown, Light Grey and Ivory

One of the most attractive features of this carpet is its elegant overdyed finish, creating a beautifully softened and aged appearance.

The carpet features a harmonious combination of:

• Beige: A warm, sophisticated neutral that provides the principal decorative foundation.

• Brown: Rich earthy tones adding warmth and traditional character.

• Light Grey: A contemporary neutral that complements modern interiors.

• Ivory: Soft, lighter accents providing contrast and visual balance.

These understated colours allow the traditional Turkmen Gul design to remain visible without overwhelming the room.

The result is an elegant carpet that works particularly well with natural wooden furniture, cream sofas, neutral upholstery and contemporary interiors.

Approximately 70–80 Years Old – Authentic Vintage Character

This beautiful carpet is approximately 70–80 years old.

It is in good vintage condition, with uneven wear and a low wool pile, consistent with its age and decorative appearance.

These characteristics contribute to the carpet's authentic aged character and complement its overdyed finish.

The carpet has been professionally hand-washed and cleaned and is ready for immediate use.

It is described as suitable for heavy domestic use.
