FAQs

Tekke rugs are traditional hand-knotted carpets crafted by the Tekke tribe of Turkmenistan, historically known for their fine knotting and distinctive gul motifs.

These carpets are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed with natural madder and other plant-based colourants.

Authenticity is determined by examining the density of the hand-knotting, the structural characteristics of the selvedges, natural dye variations, and the specific symmetry of the gul design.

Such pieces can be grounded within contemporary spaces as statement floor art or layered over larger neutral textures to add warmth and historic depth.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and placement away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fade.
