This outstanding room-size antique Turkmen Tekke rug, dating from the late 1800s, features a finely detailed allover pattern of traditional “Tekke Gul” medallions. Set against a rich and graceful red field, the guls are intricately rendered in shades of crimson, navy blue, ivory, rust, and soft blue. Woven with a high knot density and a wool pile on a wool foundation, this piece is dyed using organic vegetable pigments, lending it depth, authenticity, and natural warmth. A striking example of Central Asian tribal weaving, this rug embodies the artistic heritage of the nomadic Turkmen people and is a refined choice for collectors, interior designers, and discerning decorators seeking cultural depth and timeless texture.
