The piece displays a terracotta red colour field populated by symmetrical columns of quartered octagonal guls, paired with multiple geometric borders and a tasseled fringe at both ends. The palette includes deep madder red, ivory, indigo and tangerine shades. The construction utilises a fine wool weave with a low, even pile, showing excellent condition throughout.

It integrates smoothly into traditional or classic interior schemes, adding textural warmth and traditional geometric pattern to the floor.

FAQs

Tekke Turkmen rugs originate from Central Asian weaving traditions, primarily identified by repeating octagonal motifs known as guls arranged in structured rows on a deep red or terracotta field.

These carpets are hand-knotted using wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft, historically coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic Tekke rugs feature characteristic octagonal guls connected by fine lines, a dense weave structure, flexible handle, and traditional madder red base tones.

A red Turkmen carpet provides visual weight in contemporary or traditional schemes, pairing well with neutral upholstery, natural timber furniture, and brass accents.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only nozzle without a rotating brush, rotate annually to balance wear, and clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with a damp clean cloth.
