Turkmen weaving is both highly collectable and invigorating! These aren't just rugs; they're woven stories, reflecting the elaborate and often rigid social structures of the various Turkmen tribes of Central Asia. And this isn't just any piece – it's an exceptional antique Tekke Yomud chuval rug, originally crafted as a tent-bag face, or “chuval,” for nomadic life. Imagine the journeys it's witnessed!

This remarkable antique Tekke Yomud Chuval rug bag face is a vibrant tapestry of tribal artistry. It proudly showcases nine large Tschowal güls, iconic to the Kizilayak Turkmen, alongside secondary Sharch Palak güls, a signature of other Turkoman tribes. Each güls tells a story, a family crest woven into the very fabric of history! It's all masterfully framed by a captivating Yomud Asmalyk star border, a celestial dance of design, and flanked with dynamic running dog guard bands. These aren't just any borders; they're a repeating, stylized Vitruvian scroll, resembling a powerful, rhythmic wave – a true testament to the weaver's skill and artistic vision. This incredible piece offers endless possibilities for your home: from an inviting entry to a sophisticated library, a grand stair landing, a cozy kitchen nook, a rugged man cave, an expansive open hall, a tranquil bedroom, a luxurious bathroom, a charming sitting room, a practical mud room, a creative den, a focused studio, a dedicated study, a vibrant office, or a welcoming foyer and entryway. It effortlessly complements a wide array of interior styles, making it incredibly versatile. Whether your taste leans towards Arts & Crafts, Rustic, Ethnic, Modern, Nomadic, Traditional, Eclectic, Mid-Century Modern, Cabin, Industrial, Lodge, Contemporary, Country, Tribal, Art Deco, Craftsman, Bungalow, Bohemian, or boho chic, this rug will elevate your space with its unique character. It boasts a beautiful abrash, a natural variation in color that adds to its antique charm, and displays the gentle age wear that speaks volumes of its rich history. This hand-knotted wool treasure was made in Turkmenistan (once Old Russia) by the skilled Turkoman/Turkmen people. It measures a perfect 02'06” x 03'09” and is identified as Rug Number: 1541.
