Pile is worn low over the field, and the foundation shows in many spots. The dense drawing holds the eye with its strong contrast between the pale ground and the brown, earthy figures. At 3'7\" by 6'3\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 19th-century Baluch prayer rug at Colgate University shows a tree of life, with side panels in designs also found in Saryk Turkmen weaving. A 19th-century Baluch carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum has two large red medallions shaped like animals with legs, each holding a small tree. Baluch rugs come from the semi-nomadic groups of eastern Persia and western Afghanistan. Formats are small because the looms were portable, and the designs repeat a few motifs that traveled between camps. This rug keeps that small format and the repeating geometric vocabulary, with the diamond shapes stacked vertically rather than gathered in one large form. The pale ground sets the dark brown and rust drawing in clear relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured.

On a deep red field, rows of octagonal guls repeat in a strict grid, joined by cream connecting forms. The guls are worked in dark brown and rust with small geometric centers. The drawing reaches the inner frame without any corner pieces. A main border in faded red carries splendid cream cartouches with small teal touches. Narrow guard stripes with tiny diamonds flank this band on each side. The pile is low in places. Cream lines stay crisp against the red ground in this corner. At 4'1\" by 6'5\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Salor, Tekke, Yomut and Ersari tribes each wove a recognizable variety of the Turkmen design. Each Turkmen tribe had its own main gul, its most important symbol, and the flag of Turkmenistan shows the five guls of the five main tribes. Turkmen weavers in northeastern Persia work to a strict repeating grid of gul motifs, one octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. It sounds austere, and it is the opposite: because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the color. This rug keeps that strict grid and the repeating octagonal figures. The red shifts between deep red and rust as you cross the room, giving the geometric plan a warm depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
