FAQs

Tekke rugs are hand-knotted wool carpets traditionally woven by the Tekke tribe of Turkmenistan, characterised by distinctive octagonal gul motifs and rich madder-red grounds.

These pieces are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often utilizing asymmetrical knots and natural dyes derived from plants and minerals.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the handle of the weave, the natural variations in hand-spun wool, the organic composition of traditional madder dyes, and the specific structural characteristics of the selvedges and fringe.

An antique tribal rug provides textural contrast and warmth, working effectively as a grounding element on hardwood floors in both traditional and modern living spaces.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by a specialist in antique textiles, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect natural dye integrity.
