Tekke rug, early 20th century

Measurements: 140cm x 114cm (4’7 x 3’9)

96 Knots per inch

Price: £350

A very recognisable design that has been somewhat tarnished by the many poor imitations that are to be found in auction houses and antique shops. This is the real thing I am glad to say, a 100 year old Turkoman Tekke with good colours and fine knotting. The border and ends that frame the central field are a delight and the mark of a good Tekke piece. As to be expected on this quality of Turkoman rug the feel is akin to velvet and catches the light beautifully.

Condition:

Some wear to the main field with a little of the foundation showing, the price is adjusted to reflect this.
