This rug is quite unusual for a Tekke in that it is actually quite a robust piece. I would say certainly made for sale in a workshop rather than a tribal piece. I very much like the muted palette of this example, the soft red gives it a subtle beauty and I think makes it more friendly to a host of different colour schemes. The weave is relatively fine for the type but the rug is quite sturdy compared to many examples. I think this is a great furnishing rug.
