A Turkmen rug (Türkmen haly or Turkoman carpet) is a type of handmade floor-covering textile traditionally originating in Central Asia. The original Turkmen rugs were 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 of various sizes.A few centuries back, almost all Turkmen rugs were produced by nomadic tribes almost entirely with locally obtained materials, wool from the herds and vegetable dyes, or other natural dyes from the land. They used geometrical designs that varied from tribe to tribe; most famous are the Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke. The Faeghi family are the name you can trust. They have traded in fine handmade carpets in Persia for many generations. For more than 50 years, Peter Faeghi has shared this lineage with thousands of Australians, offering them authentic works of art to enliven and enrich their homes.
