Applications
Collectors and galleries, interior designers and architects, hotel and residential projects, oriental-rug importers and online rug retailers. Turkmen hand-knotted carpets are a protected national craft (UNESCO intangible heritage, 2019) and are sold on provenance as much as on specification; certificates of origin and export permits for hand-made carpets are arranged with the shipment.
Producer
Kumush Yupek (Kümüş Ýüpek, “silver silk”) produces hand-knotted Turkmen carpets from high-quality wool using techniques passed down through generations. Each piece is woven individually, which is why sizes are made to order rather than held in stock. The producer describes its carpets as sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide and sells through the Turkmen Exporter platform.
Loading and delivery
EXW or FCA Turkmenistan; air freight and DAP to the buyer’s door are the usual routes for carpets, with sea freight for volume orders. Carpets are rolled, wrapped and boxed or baled. The exporter platform lists an indicative price of USD 125 per piece for the small display sizes; price per square metre for custom sizes, lead time and the carpet export permit are confirmed at quotation.
