FAQs

Tekke Turkmen rugs were traditionally hand-knotted by the nomadic Tekke tribe of Central Asia, often created as dowry or wedding carpets bearing deep cultural symbolism within their geometric designs.

These pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, sometimes accented with silk highlights, dyed using natural vegetable colours and knotted tightly with asymmetric or symmetric knots.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the natural wear patterns, hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye variations, knot density on the reverse, and characteristic goul ornamentation.

An antique tribal rug functions effectively as a focal ground layer, pairing well with minimalist contemporary furniture or adding textural warmth to transitional spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, and rotation to ensure even footfall wear.
