Tribal Antique Yomut Rugs – Also known as Yamut, the Yomut is one of the main Turkoman tribes. Frequently the dyrnak gul, kepse, and the tauk muska guls are used on antique Yomut rugs. The colors, primarily burnt sienna with ivory borders, are used to create diagonal or vertical arrangements. These antique tribal Oriental rugs are more colorful than other Turkoman rugs. Repetitive floral motifs, tree motifs and the less frequent bird motifs adorn the centerfield.
Yomut rugs are among the most popular varieties of Turkoman carpets available. Antique rug collectors value these rugs because they are one of the most well-known types, named after one of the main Turkoman groups. Like many beautiful tribal Turkoman rugs, classical motifs are applied throughout, often resulting in a beautifully geometric arrangement that is meant to captivate the viewer’s attention and create veritable network of lines for them to follow.
Rich earthy tones typically dominate the landscapes of these tribal rugs. The darker tones are often offset by ivory and beige motifs in order to create a gentle, neutral type of contrast that still ties in with the thematic presence within the antique rugs. Sometimes cooler tones are chosen as well, especially if there is already a warmer presence within the rug that is meant to stand out amidst the other elements. Because of the complex nature of the patterning, it is very rare to see Yomut rugs with fewer than three colors used, especially in tribal Yomut Rugs that feature more geometric shapes.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
