FAQs

Tekke rugs originate from the nomadic Turkmen tribes of Central Asia and are traditionally characterized by dense wool construction, symmetrical knots, and repetitive geometric guls.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using handspun sheep wool for the pile and foundation, frequently dyed with natural madder root to achieve distinct madder-red and terracotta hues.

Authenticity is assessed through structural analysis of the weave density, asymmetrical or symmetrical knot counts, natural dye variations, and characteristic border motifs such as alem panels.

An antique tribal rug adds warmth and texture when paired with neutral upholstery, minimalist contemporary furniture, or layered over larger sisal flooring.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing when needed, and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading.
