Antique Tekke Turkman Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an attractive antique Tekke Turkman dating from around 1920. The handwoven carpet has typical Tekke design with 2 rows of 11 guls, but unusually, the ground colour is more coral coloured than most Tekkes which typically have a darker, more red ground.

The carpet has a low even pile and complete selvedges and ends with beautiful long fringes.

The carpet is quite a good size for a Tekke, measuring 216 cms by 120 cms, and looks great down.

UK insured delivery is £20

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Tekke Turkmen rugs are traditionally woven by nomadic Tekke tribes of Central Asia, characterised by repeat octagonal motifs known as guls arranged symmetrically on a rich red or liver-coloured field.

These textiles are hand-knotted using finely spun wool on a wool foundation, dyed with natural plant and mineral dyes to achieve deep crimson, ivory, and navy tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit high knot density, asymmetrical knots, a flexible handle, and subtle variations in yarn tone known as abrash, alongside traditional Tekke main guls with quartered interior sections.

The rich red tones and structured geometric patterns add warmth and grounding contrast to contemporary minimalist interiors, modern rustic schemes, or classic library spaces.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, address spills immediately by blotting with a clean dry cloth, and consult a specialist rug cleaner for periodic deep maintenance.
