Histori
A few centuries ago, almost all Turkmen rugs were produced by nomadic tribes almost entirely with locally obtained materials, wool from flocks and vegetable dyes, or other natural dyes from the ground. They use geometric designs that vary from one tribe to another; the most famous are Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke. Irregularities - regarded as part of the charm by many carpet collectors - are quite common because natural materials vary from batch to batch and wool yarns or weft strands can be stretched, especially on looms that are folded regularly for transport and installation in other camps.
Recently, large carpet workshops in cities have emerged, there are fewer deviations, and technology has changed some. Since about 1910, synthetic dyes have been used with synthetic dyes. The size of the nomad carpet is limited to what can be done on a nomadic portable loom; Larger carpets are always produced in the villages, but are now more common. Using cotton for warp and weft has also become common.
Carpets produced in large quantities for export in Pakistan and Iran and sold under the name Turkmen carpets are mostly made of synthetic colors, with wrought cotton and wefts and wool piles. They have little in common with indigenous Turkmenistan tribal rugs. In this export carpet, various patterns and colors are used, but the most common is the Bukhara design, which comes from Tekke's main carpet, often with a red or brown background (picture). Another favorite comes from Ersari's main carpet, with an octagonal elephant foot design. The Turkmen Carpet Museum, which houses examples of indigenous Turkmenian tapestry rugs, is located in Ashgabat.
Many Afghan carpets have a strong resemblance to Turkmen rugs. Afghanistan produces many relatively cheap and rugged rugs, especially for exports, and many of them are in "Bokhara" designs. However, there are also some very good Afghans including many who use Turkmen designs.
