Vintage Torkaman Teal Bukhara Persian Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Masterfully handwoven, using horizontal looms, by the Torkaman nomads of northeastern Persia, all natural dye and 100% handspun sheep wool.
In Torkaman’s handwoven carpets only thin weft is used making them more pliable, soft, and pleasant and since they live in cold regions, their carpets are polished thickly with long piles. Passed down through generations, one of the most notable aspects of Torkaman carpet designs is that each tribe has its own motifs derived from its environment, history, and beliefs depicted in elaborate abstract forms.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
265 × 200 CM (8'8" × 6'7"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
A 2-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 48 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
A 120 × 80 cm table with 60 cm of rug beyond its sides and 73 cm past its ends, so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.
Under the lower part of a queen bed with 56 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
