No. 711 - Vintage Turkmen Tribal Rug Product Number: No. 711 Age: 1980s Origin: Andkhoy / Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 132cm x 187cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 5mm This rug, with its deep crimson red color and the traditional Gul motif exuding a dignified presence, is a tribal rug from the Turkmen people residing in northern Afghanistan. It's a rare, wide type of main rug suitable for living rooms and dining rooms. The continuous Mauri Gul pattern, a smaller version of the Turkmen's representative Tekke Gul, and the layered, mille-feuille-like border are incredibly stylish. One might say that the proud spirit of the equestrian tribes is etched into its appearance. The fine, dense weave, characteristic of Turkmen rugs, provides a sense of security despite its thinness. As a vintage rug, it's 45 years old. While there are signs of use and some repaired tears, they have been beautifully mended. Aside from those, it's in good condition with no noticeable stains or damage. The pile itself is short and has a smooth texture, making it suitable for use throughout the year.

Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we may not even notice. We purchase items that have been cleaned, but please be aware that some sand and pile debris may remain. Also, occasionally, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but they will settle with use. Finally, regarding the rug itself, it has the characteristic smell of wool. Measurements are taken in the center, but there may be errors due to the distortion of hand-woven rugs, shrinkage from water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant-based dyes. However, we believe that these are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
