This excellent antique Tekke Turkmen rug is a true reflection of Central Asian nomadic craftsmanship and heritage. Woven with care and precision, the rug showcases two distinct rows of the iconic ‘elephant foot’ guls — a hallmark of the Tekke tribe’s weaving tradition.

Framed by a striking geometric border, the design maintains symmetry and rhythm, drawing the eye toward the central motifs. Lozenge-shaped designs at either end further enhance the visual balance and provide added decorative detail — elements often associated with protection and symbolism in tribal weavings.

The rich red field, softened with age, brings warmth and depth, while the fine wool pile and traditional construction methods ensure both durability and comfort underfoot.

A piece like this offers not only aesthetic value but also a rich cultural narrative, making it ideal for collectors or those wishing to add an authentic antique touch to their home.
