Turkman rugs are sometimes also called Turkoman carpets. These are classic and traditional floor coverings handcrafted by the experienced weavers of Central Asia. These are quite different from the tribal floor coverings and the carpets made for trade and export. Centuries ago, the Turkman carpets were first made by the nomadic tribes of the region. These were the original Turkmen tribes, who are the majority ethnic group of Turkmenistan. They only used locally and naturally available materials to make these precious pieces.
