This early 20th-century vintage Turkmen Tekke area rug features a sophisticated allover geometric medallion pattern, known as “Tekke Guls” artfully arranged on a warm brick-red ground. Hand-knotted with a fine weave and high knot density, this tribal piece showcases medallions in tones of navy, soft yellow, and muted pink, adding subtle contrast and depth. Crafted with a wool pile on a wool foundation and dyed with natural vegetable pigments, the rug reflects the enduring artistry of Central Asian nomadic traditions. A beautifully balanced work of design and craftsmanship, this rug is perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a culturally rich centerpiece for an elevated interior.
