Tekke rug, circa 1930
Measurements: 206cm x 127cm (6’9 x 4’2)
160 Knots per inch
Price: £800
A later example of a Tekke rug I think and although I try and adhere to the strictly antique status I will buy later pieces if they reflect the quality and design of the earlier ones. Although I date this around 1930 with a suspect red dye and an unusually long fringe I find the border well drawn and as interesting as the older examples. It is finely knotted with lovely quality wool and overall I think it a charming rug.
Condition:
Very good condition. The red has run into the flat weave ends and the rug has a few tension wrinkles especially at the ends otherwise very sound and strong.
