Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
This beautifully preserved vintage Turkmen Tekke area rug from the early 1900s features a classic allover small medallion, or “Gul,” pattern that exemplifies the artistry of Central Asian tribal weaving. The rug's field is rendered in a warm and graceful brick-red tone, complemented by medallions in navy, yellow, ivory, and soft pink. Finely woven with a high knot density, the rug boasts a luxurious wool pile on a wool foundation, using natural vegetable dyes that lend a rich, organic palette. An exceptional example of nomadic craftsmanship, this piece adds warmth, cultural character, and refined texture to both contemporary and traditional interiors.
