Fine Tekke Carpet, Central Asia, Circa 1880, 3.26m X 2.25m

19th century
Description

The Tekke were one of the largest of the Turkmen tribes that migrated in Central Asia for centuries. They eventually came to settle on the borders of Persia and Afghanistan at the end of the 19th century, and continued to weave carpets in the nomadic tradition until well into the 20th century. 19th century Tekke carpets continue to appeal both to collectors and to those looking for a decorative carpet. This piece is a very nice example. It has soft wool with a velvety even pile. Finely knotted and in very good condition. The colours are soft and harmonious while the guls in the field are spaced elegantly. Note the main borders with the usual range of geometric ornamentation. The skirts at each end are also well-drawn. Apart from one or two very small old repairs, this lovely carpet has survived in excellent original condition with the original kilim ends and selvages still intact. Professionally cleaned. This is a lovely carpet which would look great in many settings.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Tekke Turkmen Carpet to the 1880s.

This hand-knotted wool carpet originates from Central Asia during the period of 1880 in the Tekke Turkmen style. The piece presents a terracotta red ground decorated with repeating rows of octagonal gol motifs, detailed geometric borders, and patterned elem end panels, showing soft and harmonious tones along with very small old repairs and original kilim ends and selvages. Measuring 326 cm high and 225 cm wide, the large format suits a gentleman's library or principal reception room on the floor. The wool pile feels soft and velvety, possessing an even texture with finely knotted details and well-drawn skirts at each end. Collectors and interior decorators select nineteenth-century tribal carpets for their historical nomadic character and decorative presence in traditional or transitional living spaces. The piece functions effectively as a grounding element beneath central furniture arrangements in studies, drawing rooms, or studies.

FAQs

Tekke carpets are traditional hand-knotted textiles created by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, recognisable by their repeating octagonal motif patterns known as gols set against a rich red ground.

These carpets are constructed using finely spun wool for both the pile and foundation, dyed with natural plant extracts such as madder root to achieve deep red tones.

Authentic pieces from this period display fine knot density, flexible wool foundations, subtle natural dye variations known as abrash, and classical primary gols alongside secondary geometric motifs.

A Tekke rug provides grounding warmth and structured geometry when placed beneath a main seating group, dining table, or central desk space in traditional and contemporary schemes.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating beat bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly, use a quality underlay, and consult a professional conservator for deep cleaning.
