FAQs

The Tekke style is traditionally characterised by precise geometric guls, often arranged in rows, accompanied by intricate minor motifs and sophisticated border guards.

These carpets were typically woven using natural fibers such as wool or silk for the pile, foundation, and warps, dyed using traditional plant and insect-derived colorants.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted structure, natural variations in the dyes, fibre wear patterns, and the irregular consistency characteristic of handspun materials.

An antique rug can be layered over larger natural fibre floor coverings or placed as a focal point in a minimalist room to add texture, colour, and historical depth.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the item out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and professional hand-washing when necessary.
