Classic Red Tribal Geometric Bokara Design 1850's Antique Turkmen Tekke Rug

Antique Turkmen - Tekke Caucasus 1850s Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving originates from the Central Asian regions under the influence of Tsarist Caucasus during the mid-19th century. The Tekke tribe's masterful use of hand-spun wool and natural dyes is immediately apparent in the rich, saturated red palette of madder and indigo. The field is dominated by the characteristic Tekke Gul, a repeating octagonal medallion rendered in deep red crimson, navy blue, and ivory accents. This highly organized, repeating structure creates a mesmerizing visual rhythm across the surface, typical of an allover design favored by tribal weavers to maximize visual impact and density within the composition.
