This Filpay rug (210 × 151 cm) showcases a striking example of Central Asian tribal weaving, distinguished by bold geometric “Elephant’s Foot” medallions and rich, earthy colour contrasts. Hand‑knotted from high‑quality wool, this rug adds cultural depth, warmth, and artistic character to both classic and contemporary interiors.

Origin & Cultural Heritage

Filpay (also spelled Filpa/Filpei) refers to a traditional rug design rooted in Turkmen and Afghan tribal weaving traditions. The term itself comes from the Persian phrase meaning “Elephant’s Foot,” describing the large octagonal medallions that characterize these carpets. This iconic pattern is associated with the Ersari and other Turkmen tribes of Central Asia, where tribal craftsmanship and symbolic motifs have been passed down through generations. 

Design & Aesthetic Value

This Filpay rug’s design centers on bold geometric motifs arranged rhythmically to create visual harmony and cultural expression. The warm and earthy palette — often featuring deep reds, natural blues, and brown tones — enhances any space with depth and character. Its hand‑knotted wool pile ensures durability and a comfortable feel underfoot, making it ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or lounge spaces.
