A column of three splendid diamond guls in cream and near-black runs down the deep red field.

For a wedding Turkmen women wove tasseled trappings for the camel that carried the bride from her father’s tent to that of her new husband. Torkaman rugs from northeastern Persia are built on a strict repeating grid of gul motifs, with almost no variation from one figure to the next. Because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the color. Here three diamond guls sit in a vertical line, and the red stays strong against the cream and near-black outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.

A cream field holds three diamond guls stacked vertically, worked in burgundy, deep red and ochre. Stepped triangular motifs in rust and navy sit beside them on the open ground. A wide cream border displays a splendid lattice of small diamonds in navy, burgundy and brown, edged by thin guard stripes. The outer edge runs a burgundy band with cream angular forms.

UNESCO added traditional Turkmen carpet making to its list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2019. In northeastern Persia, Turkmen weavers keep to a strict grid of gul motifs, the same octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. That sounds austere, yet it is the opposite, because the drawing never changes and all the life is in the color. Here the grid shows in three guls set in a straight line down the cream ground. The frame answers the guls with small diamonds in a deeper shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
