 NAME: Turkmen Antique Rug
 SKU: 17844

Pictorial design vintage rug depicting the famous Persian Omar Khayyam - poet, philosopher, mathematician, etc. The picture on this rug shows the poet sitting in the corner on top of a rug with dancing girls in the background.  Large birds and other animals are placed on each side of the central stylized tree of life with blooming flowers at the base.

Aged rich charcoal colour is used as a background for this scene. Spectacular exceptionally wide Turkoman design border and guards reminiscent of mosaic tiles and fine tapestry frame the central scene. Finely hand-knotted in sheep's wool this pictorial rug has been created by artisans with skills that have been handed down through generations.

 Pictorial rugs are the hardest to design and to work out the scale of the figures etc.  The Turkoman tribe is known as the finest of all tribal weavers and this magnificent rug is no exception.
