Tekke Engsi

1900 - 1920
Description

These door hangings are among my favourite Turkoman pieces. This piece is a Tekke with an asymmetric knot open to the right. It has a very pleasing palette with dominant soft red contrasted by a dark blue, green and a light cream. The standard palette of the Turkoman piece. For some reason I am drawn to the light brown, I like this tone and the way it complements the stronger colours. The knotting is quite coarse horizontally with 7 knots per inch but the vertical knotting has 14 knots per inch. The backing has been sewn under in the corners which make it quite usable as a rug, it is actaully a very robust piece. One of my current favourites.

Fairly good condition with a little wear.

FAQs

An Engsi is a traditional Turkmen hand-knotted rug designed specifically to hang at the entrance of a yurt. It features a distinct four-part central field layout, known as a hatchli design, symbolising the division of space.

These rugs are crafted entirely from natural wool, including a wool pile knotted onto a wool warp and weft structure. The vibrant tones are achieved using natural plant and insect dyes, such as madder root for deep reds.

Authentic pieces exhibit dense asymmetrical knotting, a signature palette of deep madder red and dark navy blue, and specific geometric motifs including stylized plant, bird, or arch iconography within a four-panel composition.

A Tekke Engsi functions effectively as a decorative wall hanging, accent floor rug in a hallway or study, or layered over neutral flooring to add geometric texture to a room.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment to avoid pulling the wool fibres. Promptly spot-clean spills with cool water and neutral soap, and arrange professional washing when thorough cleaning is required.
