About the Item
78839 Vintage Turkoman Tekke Rug, 09'11 x 13'00. Turkoman Tekke rugs from Turkestan are handwoven carpets created by the Tekke tribe, one of the major Turkmen tribes historically situated in the region of Turkestan, which includes parts of modern-day Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. These rugs are celebrated for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate geometric designs, and use of high-quality wool. The Tekke tribe is renowned for its rug weaving expertise, with their carpets often featuring repeating motifs such as guls (medallion-like designs), octagons, and other geometric patterns. These rugs hold cultural significance and are highly prized for their beauty and historical importance, showcasing the rich heritage of the Turkmen people in Turkestan.
This hand-knotted vintage Turkoman rug, crafted with a blend of wool and silk, exemplifies the rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship of the Tekke tribe. Measuring an impressive 10x13 feet, the rug features the traditional deep red field adorned with intricate repeating guls (medallion-like motifs) and geometric patterns. The finely detailed design is complemented by multiple borders, each showcasing a variety of smaller, meticulously crafted geometric shapes that enhance the rug's overall visual appeal. The use of silk highlights within the base adds a subtle sheen, elevating the rug’s luxurious texture and depth.
A closer inspection of the rug reveals the exceptional quality of the knotting and the intricate detailing that characterizes Tekke Bokhara rugs. The dense knotting ensures durability and a fine, even pile that feels plush underfoot. The combination of wool and silk not only provides a tactile richness but also enhances the rug's durability, making it a lasting addition to any collection. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise, uniform knots and the clarity of the intricate patterns, reflecting the skill and tradition passed down through generations of Turkmen weavers.
This Turkoman Tekke rug is more than just a decorative piece; it is a testament to the cultural and historical significance of Turkmen tribal art. The vibrant red hues and the detailed motifs are symbolic of the Tekke tribe’s identity and their mastery in textile arts. Whether displayed in a living room, a study, or a formal setting, this rug brings a sense of heritage, elegance, and sophistication to any space. Its vintage status adds an extra layer of charm and authenticity, making it a prized possession for collectors and connoisseurs of traditional handwoven carpets.
