FAQs

Tekke rugs originate from the Turkmen tribes of Central Asia and are traditionally characterized by dense wool piles, deep madder-red colour palettes, and precise geometric gul motifs arranged in structured rows.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often featuring wool or goat hair warps and natural vegetable dyes derived from madder, indigo, and other local flora.

Key indicators include soft, lustrous wool, irregular natural dye variations across the field, finely woven symmetrical knots, and authentic nomadic selvedges and kilim ends rather than modern machine finishing.

These textiles serve as grounding floor elements in minimalist or modern spaces, where their rich crimson tones and geometric symmetry add warmth, texture, and historical contrast to neutral interiors.

Preservation requires gentle, regular vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
