This vintage Tekke Turkmen rug, woven circa 1970s, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Central Asia. Showcasing a traditional uniform central field, its defining characteristic lies in the elegant repetition of two orderly rows of "elephant foot" (gül) motifs—an emblematic pattern celebrated for centuries among Turkmen weavers. Predominantly rendered in a rich, warm Persian red hue, the rug is artfully accented with delicate touches of soft gold and subtle hints of pale blue, bringing depth and gentle contrast to its geometric design.
Encasing the central motifs, multiple geometric borders further enhance the symmetry and visual appeal, each carefully structured to reflect a harmony characteristic of Turkman weaving traditions. Notably, the rug retains its original long fringe, meticulously preserved and exceptionally well-maintained for its vintage, offering not only authenticity but also enhancing its luxurious aesthetic.
Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of timeless textiles alike, this rug effortlessly integrates into sophisticated interiors, providing both historical charm and an enduring beauty that continues to captivate admirers of traditional artistry.
