Turkaman / 21022

This Turkaman antique rug, measuring 3' 8" x 4' 5", presents a finely layered field of geometric panels, stepped diamonds, and border repeats in brown, cream, white, and muted rust tones. The composition feels compact and architectural, with a narrow lattice-like band across the top and a more compartmented center that gives the design its rhythm. Wool lends a dry, tactile surface, while medium wear softens the contrasts and deepens the age. Circa 1880 - 1910, it carries the quiet irregularities and faded clarity that make an antique rug feel resolved and lived with.
