Description

Size: 4ft 11in x 3ft 9in (150 x 114cm).

Antique Tekke Turkmen Ensi of classic design with excellent colour.

Ensi are considered to be traditional ceremonial door hangings for the entrance to the tribal yurt. They also can be used as small floor rugs.

This example is very finely woven with very clear colours, the large double elem panels at the base are beautifully drawn with flowers in the lower panel and large trees in the panel above.

Good condition with slight even wear and good pile.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An Ensi is a specific style of hand-knotted rug produced by nomadic Turkmen tribes, traditionally woven to serve as a protective doorway curtain for a yurt or tent.

Tekke Turkmen rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation, coloured with natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic pieces feature a distinct four-panel central field divided by a cross or hatchli layout, tight symmetrical knotting, a palette dominated by terracotta reds, and a decorative lower skirt called an elem.

Interior designers often place geometric tribal rugs against neutral hardwood flooring, beneath dark wood furniture, or mount them on walls as decorative textile art.

Care involves regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, using a high-quality rug pad beneath to prevent fiber strain, and professional hand-cleaning when necessary.
