Turkmenistan Tekke Rug 101 X 83 Cm

Turkmen carpet (Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan regions) wool, circa 1870. Normal condition of use on the entire carpet given its age (around 150 years). The stopping points and the borders have been restored in our workshop.

Rare and authentic tekké carpet composed of a repetitive geometric pattern in the shape of a diamond inserted in a rectangle. This pattern is called 'aina-gotschak'. On both sides, over approximately 10 cm, a multitude of flowers soften the geometry of the carpet.
Remarkable for its finesse and its colors which have not faded over time, this tekké is the work of accomplished weavers. Madder was used for the red but the purple-red parts are probably based on cochineal.
