911. a wonderful Tekke Turkoman tribal rug

911. Provenance: Tekke tribe, Turkoman, Turkmenistan

Size: 217 x 150 cm

Age: Circa 1920

Condition: Good.

Notes: A beautiful piece, in colouring, weaving and drawing. It is typical of its type, but the type is worthy of awe! Fine weaving, and natural dyes. The repeated Tekke gul is a 'must' in such rugs, the border is ornate and multifaceted and the elem ends are largely intact. In modern parlance, 'what's not to like?'.
