About the Item
This mid-19th-century Tekke rug is a superb example of Turkmen weaving, celebrated for its disciplined geometry, rich natural dyes, and deeply rooted cultural symbolism. Woven in soft, glossy wool, the piece displays the classic Tekke gül arranged in rhythmic repetition across a saturated red field—a hallmark of the tribe’s most accomplished workshops.
The rug’s composition is both balanced and sculptural: each gül is articulated with precision, surrounded by finely drawn minor motifs that reflect centuries of design continuity. Along the ends, the elem panels introduce a contrasting vocabulary of small floral figures, creating a gentle transition between the central field and the outer borders. This thoughtful structure gives the carpet a strong architectural presence, allowing it to anchor a room with visual stability and warmth.
Collectors will appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the rarity of its documentation. This Tekke rug has been both published and exhibited:
Published: Oriental Rugs from Atlantic Collections, ed. Dodds
Eiland Jr., fig. 189.
Exhibited: Masterpieces of Turkmen Weaving, Arthur Ross Gallery, University of Pennsylvania (2003).
Provenance: Leigh Marsh Collection.
These credentials place the piece among academically recognised examples of Turkmen textile art, making it suitable for serious collectors, design connoisseurs, and curated interiors.
In person, the rug offers a tactile richness—its wool is soft yet durable, and the natural dyes retain a luminous depth that shifts subtly with the light. Whether placed in a sophisticated living room, a library, or presented as a wall hanging, the rug provides warmth, cultural resonance, and aesthetic clarity.
A Tekke rug of this period, condition, and provenance is not only an interior statement but a meaningful acquisition—an opportunity to own a documented piece of 19th-century weaving history.
