Antique Turkmaan - Tekke Caucasus Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional piece is a classic example of nomadic weaving, specifically attributed to the Tekke tribe. Woven during the late 19th century, this textile represents the finest traditions of Rugs from Caucasus, where the Turkoman tribes maintained their distinct, highly codified aesthetic despite geopolitical shifts. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated tone, a deep terracotta or rust that borders on coral color rugs, achieved through masterful natural dyeing techniques. The repetitive main carpet design features the iconic Tekke *gul*—a complex, quartered octagonal medallion—executed in indigo, ivory, and deep crimson accents. This dense, mesmerizing structure is typical of the finest antique rugs produced by these Central Asian artisans.
