Description
TURKMEN carpet (Central Asia).
Late 20th century.
Wool pile on a cotton backing.
Navy-blue medallions, adorned with flamboyant, stylised cruciform plant motifs, are set against a broad sky-blue and emerald-green plant trellis with intricate interlacing patterns. A nested, polychrome, octagonal medallion set with gemstones adorns the centre of this carpet, whilst four further gemstones embellish the corners. A wide, multicoloured border featuring a succession of stylised corollas and leaves, flanked by four counter-borders in old gold and ruby featuring small geometric shapes. Kilims decorated at both ends.
Signed TCCP (Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic). Rare and intriguing in every respect.
