The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Tekke Turkmen dowry rug is a traditional handwoven textile created by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, historically crafted by women to form part of a brides wedding dowry and domestic furnishings.

These rugs are hand-knotted using wool for the pile, warp, and weft, employing asymmetrical knots and natural plant- or insect-based dyes to produce rich red and crimson hues.

Authentic pieces feature iconic octagonal Tekke gul motifs arranged in precise repeating rows, fine asymmetrical knotting, supple wool foundations, and deep natural red dye variations known as abrash.

A Tekke Turkmen rug adds visual texture and warm colour contrast when placed over neutral floorings in contemporary spaces, traditional study rooms, or minimalist living areas.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, address spills immediately with a clean cloth, and consult a specialist textile conservator for deep cleaning.
