History: Yamouth or Yomuts rug from Central Asia, 1940s This rug, dating from the 1940s and in very good condition, comes from the Yomut tribe of Central Asia. It has a characteristic "Gul" pattern in its interior field. The term "Gul" is the subject of various etymological interpretations. Some see it as a transliteration of a Persian word meaning "flower," while others link it to a Turkic word for "clan." In practice, a gul refers to the polychrome ornaments repeated regularly across the entire field of the carpet. Origin and Characteristics of Yomut Carpets The Yomut tribe lived near the Aral Sea. Their carpets, although slightly less densely knotted than those of the Teke, are highly prized for their elaborate decorative patterns and visual harmony. Unlike the classic octagonal guls, the Yomut gul often adopts a very sophisticated diamond shape. The upper and lower borders of these carpets frequently feature rows of small stylized figures, leaving room for various artistic interpretations. At first glance, the carpets of Turkmenistan appear similar. Yet, subtle, sometimes imperceptible, differences distinguish them. The influence of abstract art on Western observers has allowed a better appreciation of these discreet variations. The decoration of these carpets is based on a controlled repetition of geometric patterns, of which the gul is the tribal emblem. The Yomuts or Yamouths: nomadic tribes of Central Asia Also called Yomuds or Yamouds, the Yomuts were nomadic or semi-nomadic tribes established in Turkmenistan and northeastern Iran. Their textile heritage is a testament to their rich culture and unique craftsmanship. This version is clearer, more harmonious and coherent while remaining faithful to the original content.
