Yomut rug, Central Asia , Early 20th Century – This sophisticated antique Yomut rug from Central Asia features a magnificent weighted composition that is constructed around a series of elaborate stacked lozenges.

The decorative borders are equally impressive with their coffered double ram’s horn motifs, which are rendered in contrasting colors. Magnificent guard bands with S-hook symbols rendered in a complementary triad of emerald green, terracotta red and ivory flank the main borders while emphasizing their decorative appeal.
