We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

Tekke Turkmen carpets are traditionally characterised by their deep madder red grounds and repetitive octagonal gul motifs, woven by nomadic and village tribes in Central Asia.

These pieces are typically crafted with hand-spun wool piles on wool or cotton foundations, utilising symmetrical or asymmetrical knots dyed with natural pigments.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the natural colour variations in the wool, structural irregularities, hand-spun yarn characteristics, and wear patterns consistent with age.

An antique rug serves as a foundational anchor in a room, providing warmth and textural contrast against minimalist furniture or hardwood flooring.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist cleaning, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight to protect natural dyes.
