Fine Turkmen Tekke Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 286 x 196 cm
Fine Turkmen Tekke Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 286 x 196 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
This Fine Turkmen Tekke rug carries the power and discipline of a serious tribal weaving. Across the deep red field, rows of repeated Tekke gül motifs act like woven emblems, giving the rug its strong identity, rhythm and sense of order. Each gül sits within a precise geometric structure, while the layered borders frame the field with dark navy, black and ivory detail, creating depth without breaking the balance of the composition. In a rug of this scale, the repeated motif work demands patience, control and skilled hand-knotting, as every form must stay aligned across the full wool surface. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this is a substantial Tekke piece with rich vegetable-dyed colour movement, dense traditional character and the presence of a collectible textile artwork.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and handmade structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Each hand-knotted rug is coloured using 100% vegetable dyes, giving the fibres natural depth, gentle tonal movement and the individual character of handmade weaving.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
