FAQs

Tekke carpets originate from the nomadic Turkmen tribes of Central Asia, historically recognised for their dense wool pile, rich madder-red grounds, and precise geometric guls.

They are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, often dyed with natural plant and mineral colourants such as madder root.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the knot density, natural colour variations in the wool, the structure of the fringe and selvedges, and the specific iconography of the guls.

This piece works well as a grounding element in rooms featuring neutral furnishings, adding historic depth and warmth beneath modern or transitional furniture.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
