This beautiful antique woollen Turkmen Tekke torba kilim is a fine example of Central Asian tribal weaving, rich in cultural symbolism and artistry. Traditionally used as a decorative storage bag front, this piece showcases the signature Tekke aesthetic with intricate geometric motifs arranged in a rhythmic lattice pattern. Deep indigo and earthy terracotta tones dominate the field, accented by subtle lighter shades that enhance its depth and balance.

The border is adorned with classic Turkmen diamond and cross designs, framing the composition with symmetry and elegance. Handwoven in wool, it reflects the durability and tactile beauty of nomadic craftsmanship while carrying the patina of age that adds to its authenticity. Collectable and decorative, this torba kilim is not only a practical textile but also a cultural artefact, embodying the heritage and traditions of the Turkmen tribes.

Authentic vintage and antique Turkoman kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. 

Our kilims are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
