Description

Size:4ft 5in x 3ft 4in (134 x 102cm).

Antique Tekke Turkmen rug of fine weave and small size.

Circa 1870-80.

These rugs are considered to be ‘dowry’ weavings woven by the Turkmen bride for use on her wedding day.

This example has 4 rows of 7 Tekke guls, the main border is of the star in octagon with sunburst design. The main border design is very similar to that found on a Tekke main carpet. The weave is finer than would normally be found on this type of rug.

The rug has very fine soft wool with excellent colour.

The rug is in excellent condition with even wear and medium pile.

The rug has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.

Stock Number: R-2301.
