Afghan Turkoman runner with predominantly red hues throughout; measures approximately 1'8" x 4'5". A Turkoman or "Turkmen" rug is a type of handmade floor-covering textile traditionally originating in Central Asia. Turkmen rugs are produced by the Turkmen tribes who are the main ethnic group in Turkmenistan and are also found in Afghanistan and Iran. They are used for various purposes including tent rugs, door hangings, and bags. Historically, Turkmen rugs were produced by nomadic tribes almost entirely with locally obtained materials such as wool from the herds, vegetable dyes, and other natural dyes. They used geometrical designs that varied from tribe to tribe with the most famous being Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke. Irregularities - considered part of the charm by many rug collectors - are fairly common since natural materials very from batch to batch and woolen warp or weft may stretch, especially on a loom that is regularly folded up or transport and set up anew at another camp.
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
