About the Item
Embark on a journey through time as we unravel the rich history woven into the fabric of Turkmen rugs, a testament to the nomadic tribes that crafted these masterpieces centuries ago. In an era long past, these artisans relied on locally-sourced materials—wool from their herds and vegetable or natural dyes extracted from the bountiful land surrounding them. The result was a symphony of colors and patterns that reflected the unique identity of each tribe. Notable among these were the Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke, each contributing its distinct geometrical designs to the rich tapestry of Turkmen craftsmanship.
The imperfections that graced these rugs, now cherished by collectors, were not flaws but rather a testament to the authenticity of the craft. Natural materials, subject to variation from batch to batch, coupled with the challenges of nomadic life where looms were regularly folded for transport and reassembled at new campsites, contributed to the charming irregularities that make each rug a unique work of art.
Enter the spotlight, a captivating piece of history—a 10" x 36" antique c-1900's Turkoman Tekkeh Torba Rug. Immaculately preserved, this rug stands as a testament to the weaver's skill and dedication. The use of five or six different background colors adds a layer of complexity and depth, creating a visual symphony that captivates the eye. The rug boasts an enviable pile, evenly distributed throughout, showcasing the enduring quality of its craftsmanship.
Meticulously cared for, this rug has undergone a thorough cleaning, leaving it free from stains and retaining its original vibrancy. The ends and sides, a testament to the rug's enduring integrity, remain intact in their original state. Crafted with a fine quality of wool on wool, the rug's use of vegetable dyes adds an organic warmth to its color palette, creating a connection to the very land from which its materials were sourced.
As the eye navigates the rug's surface, it encounters a tribal geometric design featuring octagonal guls and charming bird motifs in the field. These elements not only speak to the artistic prowess of the weaver but also offer a glimpse into the cultural tapestry of the Turkmen people. At the bottom of the rug, a skirt of plain field adds a finishing touch, grounding the intricate design in simplicity.
Owning this Turkoman Tekke Torba Rug isn't merely possessing a piece of decor; it's holding a slice of history, a tangible connection to the nomadic tribes that traversed vast landscapes to create these masterpieces. Let it be more than an accent in your space—let it be a conversation piece, a window into a bygone era, and a celebration of the enduring artistry of Turkmen craftsmanship.
This is an authentic handmade rug. It was made in central Asia circa 1920s or before.
The materials are wool pile with wool foundation. The colors are from vegetable dyes, and the general pattern is geometric design inside two borders.
The overall condition is good, especially when its age is taken into consideration. There are no tears, breaks or holes. The side bindings are intact and original. The ends are bound. The pile is high. The rug has been professionally washed.
