Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Turkoman Tribe Chuval Tekke Tribal Carpet

About the Item

78778 Antique Turkoman Tekke Rug, 03'06 x 04'03. Turkoman Tekke rugs from Turkestan are handwoven carpets crafted by the Tekke tribe, one of the major Turkmen tribes historically located in the region of Turkestan, which encompasses parts of present-day Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. These rugs are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate geometric designs, and use of high-quality wool. The Tekke tribe is known for its mastery of rug weaving, and their carpets often feature repeating motifs such as guls (medallion-like motifs), octagons, and various geometric patterns. These rugs hold cultural significance and are highly valued for their beauty and historical importance, reflecting the rich heritage of the Turkmen people in the region of Turkestan. The rugged beauty of laid-back luxury intertwines with tribal enchantment in this antique Turkoman Tekke rug. Originating from the talented artisans of the Turkmen Tekke tribe, this hand-knotted wool masterpiece showcases the tribe's distinctive weaving style, rich in symbolism and heritage. Its distressed composition reveals a warm red backdrop adorned with an intricate geometric pattern of Aina guls, arranged in a captivating compartmental design. This timeless arrangement conjures visions of gentle, nostalgic days gone by, imbuing the piece with a fashionable touch of rustic allure. Framed by a wide compound border featuring X-shapes and cross motifs, this antique Tekke rug speaks of weathered elegance and nomadic charm. The Aina gul, a signature motif of Tekke tribal weaving, is a testament to cultural heritage. Translating to "flower" or "rose" in Persian, these octagonal and diamond-shaped motifs grace the rug's surface in a meticulously arranged grid, serving as a badge of tribal pride and identity. Each Aina gul marks the unique origin of the piece, adding a layer of mystique and storytelling to its already enchanting appearance. The intricate weaving of these motifs elevates the rug into an emblem of timeless elegance. With its meticulously knotted wool construction and carefully curated color palette, this antique Tekke rug embodies a serene sophistication. Its weathered aesthetic and relaxed refinement capture the heart of nomadic artistry, weaving together a tapestry of history and craftsmanship. This hand-knotted treasure whispers stories of the past while celebrating the enduring legacy of Turkmen tradition.
