This vintage Turkmen Tekke wool rug beautifully represents the classic weaving traditions of the Tekke tribe, known for their refined craftsmanship and iconic gul motifs. The field displays a series of repeating octagonal guls, each intricately detailed in rich tones of deep red, rust, and dark brown, symbolising tribal identity and heritage. The precision of the symmetrical layout creates a rhythmic and balanced aesthetic, while the surrounding bordersdecorated with intricate geometric patternsadd layers of depth and protection to the central design. Woven from fine wool, the rug has a soft yet durable texture, reflecting both utility and artistry. With its bold crimson palette and timeless tribal motifs, this Tekke rug is not only a functional floor covering but also a collectable piece that carries the cultural spirit of Turkmen nomadic weavings.
Authentic vintage and antique Turkoman rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
