Beautiful early 20th century Turkmen Tekke area rug in an all over geometric pattern. This captivating rug features a sophisticated allover geometric medallion pattern, famously known as “Tekke Guls”, artfully arranged across a warm brick-red ground. The iconic medallions are masterfully rendered in harmonious tones of deep navy, soft yellow, and muted pink, adding subtle contrast, intricate detail, and remarkable depth to the design.
Crafted with a fine weave and high knot density, this rug boasts a luxurious wool pile set on a durable wool foundation, promising both comfort and longevity. The vibrant and nuanced colors are achieved through natural vegetable pigments, which not only lend the rug a profound authenticity but also ensure a beautiful patina that will only deepen and mature with time.
A beautifully balanced work of design and craftsmanship, this vintage Turkmen Tekke rug is a versatile and culturally rich centerpiece. It is perfect for discerning collectors, interior designers, or anyone seeking to infuse an elevated interior with unique character, historical significance, and the timeless elegance of authentic tribal art.
