FAQs

Tekke rugs are traditional hand-knotted floor coverings made by the Tekke tribe of Turkmenistan, historically recognised for their fine knot density and symmetrical geometric gul motifs.

These textiles typically feature handspun wool foundations and piles, often dyed using natural madder root to achieve distinct shades of red, accented with indigo and cream.

Authenticity is determined by examining the handle, natural dye variations, asymmetrical or symmetrical knotting structures, wear patterns, and the presence of wool selvages and original fringe finishes.

An antique tribal rug provides rich texture and earthy colouration that grounds contemporary furniture, serving as a focal point beneath a coffee table or as wall art.

Preservation requires gentle, low-suction vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
