This antique Tekke Turkmen rug originates from around 1900, presenting a traditional wedding dowry design hand-woven in wool. The piece showcases a deep red field decorated with three vertical rows of nine octagonal gol motifs, interspersed with cross-shaped secondary guls in black, white, and brown tones. Enclosing the central field are multiple geometric border bands featuring star in octagon and sunburst patterns, complemented by fringed woven ends at both top and bottom. The soft pile displays a fine weave with very slight even wear across the surface. Measuring 140 cm high by 106 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the textile has a compact footprint suitable for floor placement in a study, library, or hallway. It functions as a decorative floor covering or wall hanging in a traditional or eclectic interior scheme, bringing rich colour and historic tribal pattern to the room.

FAQs

Tekke Turkmen rugs are traditional hand-woven carpets created by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, historically crafted for domestic use, nomadic yurt interiors, and wedding dowries.

These rugs are typically constructed with a hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a wool warp and weft, utilising natural plant and madder dyes to achieve deep crimson and red hues.

Authentic antique Turkmen carpets feature asymmetric Persian knots, a flexible handle, subtle colour variations from natural dyes, and strict geometric tribal gol medallion patterns.

A red Turkmen rug can be paired with neutral contemporary sofas, dark timber furniture, or leather armchairs to provide a warm, grounded focal point within a room scheme.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating beat bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and treat spills immediately with cool water and neutral detergent.
