Turkmen Tekke 2183

Observe the rich tribal artistry and enduring legacy of this magnificent early 20th century Turkmen Tekke gallery or corridor Rug. Beautifully hand-knotted during the first half of the 1900s, this piece is a testament to the nomadic craftsmanship of the Tekke tribes, showcasing a classic and powerful all-over geometric medallion pattern known as the "Turkmen Gul."

The rug's design features a series of these iconic Turkmen Gul medallions, rendered in a striking brick red hue. The motifs are beautifully accented with a sophisticated palette of verdant green, warm brown, and subtle gray, which adds depth and visual interest to the composition.

This hand-knotted rug is a work of authentic tribal art, woven with handspun wool and colored with all vegetable dyes. The use of these natural materials imbues the rug with a unique character and a rich, subtle abrash effect that speaks to its history and authenticity.
