FAQs

Tekke Turkmen rugs are traditionally characterised by their fine knotting, rich madder red ground, and symmetrical gul octagonal medallions, woven by the Tekke tribe in Central Asia.

These pieces were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, dyed primarily with natural vegetable dyes such as madder root.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural wear patterns, irregularities in the hand-spun wool, organic variation in natural dye lots, and the density and structure of the knotting on the reverse.

An antique tribal rug adds texture and grounding to modern spaces, working effectively when contrasted against clean architectural lines, minimalist furniture, and neutral hardwood floors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fade, and professional specialist cleaning when necessary.
