Tekke Torba, second half 19th century

Measurements: 45cm x 117cm

390 Knots per inch

Price: £180

An incredibly finely knotted Tekke Torba with good age. It has suffered as can be seen in the photographs but I will buy these pieces for their quality regardless of condition as they are rare finds. I find the intricate workmanship staggering, especially when you see how these tribal people lived. Posessions such as this meant a lot to the weavers and were a valuable currency in these times. It has suffered a difficult life but it does make it affordable.

Condition:

A tear to the bottom and a poor repair in the main field. Generally a little distressed.
