Fine Antique Tekke Rug.
1.87 x 1.56.
Tekke carpets are instantly recognizable for their distinctive stamped elephant foot patterns, even more so the early pieces, well known for their bold, visually arresting drawings. Produced by the weavers of the Tekke tribes in Turkoman in Central Asia, Tekke rugs are highly sought-after for their high-quality wool and use of rich natural dyes, and are widely appreciated as among the finest weavings from the region. These pieces are truly timeless works of art, well suited to decorate a wide variety of spaces.
This example, dating to the 1910s, features a wide-ranging palette, the deep carnelian field complimented by the tones of ivory, terracotta and blue in the pattern, all framed by a wide border, decorated with repeated geometric motifs. Thanks to the tightness of the weave, the drawing has a wonderful clarity.
A charming tribal piece, in very good practical condition, still retaining its outer borders and fringes on both sides, to add character to any interior.
