Description

Tekke 'Wedding' Rugs were traditionally woven for the bride and groom to stand on during their wedding ceremony which then became a part of the girl's dowry. They were often very finely woven and highly prized. Good examples continue to remain popular, both with collectors and decorators. This charming example stands out for several reasons. The colour is particularly attractive while the guls are well-spaced and nicely drawn. Its all very easy on the eye. Woven with fine wool and good natural dyes, the pile is velvety and in good condition. The small square size, typical of this group is also very useful. The original selvages and ends are intact. Minimal signs of wear. No repairs. This rug has been professionally cleaned in our workshop and is ready for immediate use, and would make a wonderful addition to many decorative schemes.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Tekke Rug to the 1880s.

FAQs

Tekke rugs are traditional tribal carpets woven by the Tekke tribe of Turkomans in Central Asia, typically characterised by red fields and repeating octagonal motifs known as guls.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced sheeps wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed with natural vegetable dyes to achieve deep red and madder tones.

Authenticity is determined by examining the density of the knotting, the use of natural organic dyes that show abrash, the handling of the wool, and the specific structural characteristics of the selvedges and fringe.

An antique tribal rug can be used as a grounding element on hardwood floors, paired with neutral upholstery to let the rich tones and patterns stand out as a focal point.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when needed, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye degradation.
