Simple Iranian Carpet Design - Size: 186x112 cm

Persian classic handmade carpet made from natural wool. The carpet has a cotton backing and natural colors. It's made in Iran, but the style is from Turkmenistan.

Turkmens' nomadic lifestyle, these rugs offer more than just aesthetic appeal - they embody a rich cultural heritage.

Turkmen carpets are renowned for their dense texture and intricate designs, often with distinctive designs from one of the five major Turkmen tribes. These patterns, formed by clear linear geometric formations, reflect the weaver's habitat, incorporating elements of local flora, fauna and landscapes.

Turkmen carpets, hand-woven on horizontal or vertical looms, primarily use wool threads in a variety of colors. The use of traditional vegetable dyes, such as pomegranate and walnut skins, gives these products a special flavor, although modern technology can also use chemical dyes.

In addition to their visual appeal, Turkmen carpets have deep cultural significance. They serve as both floor coverings and wall decorations, and special rugs are woven for significant life events such as the birth of a child, weddings and religious ceremonies.

The art of carpet making is passed down from generation to generation in families. This tradition not only preserves cultural identity, but also promotes social cohesion and cooperation within communities.

In Iran, due to the unique climate and local customs, the center of carpet production is the Turkmen Sahara region. Here, the weft of Turkmen carpets is made primarily from sheep wool, which distinguishes them from carpets produced in other regions of Iran.

As you explore the world of handmade Turkmen carpets, you will discover a treasure trove of history, craftsmanship and cultural significance. Whether decorating your home or serving as a thoughtful gift, these rugs are more than just decorative items, they are a living expression of timeless traditions.
