Persian Turkoman Yamud Cushion Cover Rug 3x4 – Burgundy and Ivory, Hand-Knotted Wool Antique
About this Turkoman Yamud Rug
This antique Persian Turkoman Yamud rug, measuring approximately 3 x 4 ft, was originally woven as a cushion cover or saddlebag face and features a bold array of repeating Yamud guls—a traditional tribal motif—set against a deep, rich burgundy field. The geometric medallions, rendered in rust, ivory, and black, are meticulously hand-knotted in wool and framed by dynamic, multi-tiered borders with stylized cross motifs and latch-hook patterns. Its compact size and tribal authenticity make it an excellent decorative accent for small spaces, walls, or even as a collector's textile.
About Turkoman Yamud Rugs
Yamud rugs are a distinct subset of Turkoman weavings, originating from the Yamud (Yomut) tribes of Turkmenistan and northern Persia. These rugs are known for their coarser but sturdy wool foundation, saturated color palettes—dominated by dark reds and browns—and the use of tribal guls in repeating patterns. Unlike the Tekke variety, Yamud pieces often display more angular, stepped designs and are favored for their raw, nomadic character. Pieces like this were frequently woven for utilitarian use—bags, trappings, and domestic decoration—reflecting the lifestyle of the weavers themselves.
