Antique Turkmen Carpet 312x235cm

Classic Tekke Turkmen Carpet – Six Rows of Elephant Foot Design

This classic Tekke Turkmen carpet exemplifies the bold geometry and deep cultural symbolism of tribal Central Asian weaving. Featuring six distinctive rows of elephant foot guls on a purply red ground, this piece is a strong statement in traditional design.

The geometric border frames the central field beautifully, while the authentic kilim end finish adds another layer of craftsmanship and charm. One of the unique aspects of this rug is a slight colour change in the field, which is much subtler in person than shown in photos. This minor imperfection is reflected in the price, making it an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine tribal piece at great value.

Woven with handspun wool and natural dyes, this Tekke carpet has a soft feel and lustrous appearance. It’s a durable, decorative, and collectible piece, ideal for adding character to a study, lounge, hallway, or layered with other rugs.
