An Antique Tekke Turkmen/Turkoman Rug with a classic Gül (elephant foot) design. This rug features twelve Gül motifs throughout the central area and geometric diamond and lozenge shapes in the multiple borders. A rich yet soft pink-red makes up the rug's background, with more red, orange, cream and dark blue tones used within each motif.
Tekke Turkmen or Turkoman Rugs are fine pieces made by Turkmen tribespeople. Gül patterns are often found within these rugs, and they are almost always hand knotted from fine hand spun wool. This rug is a good example of an Antique Tekke Turkmen, woven in excellent quality fine wool by master weavers. The rug is in a very good overall condition, with some wear to the side bindings and fringes.
The rich colours and fine details of this Antique Tekke Turkmen Rug sit well in both classic and modern interiors. It is especially suited to bedrooms, living rooms and private studies.
