Red Antique Turkman Tekke Tribal Geometric Bokhara Design Rug

Antique Turkman - Tekke Caucasus 1870s Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the traditional tekke style, characterized by its saturated madder field and the precise repetition of the primary gul motif. The Turkman tribes, though nomadic, produced highly sophisticated weavings, often utilizing rich, deep reds derived from natural dyes. The field is dominated by a strict, geometric arrangement of octagonal guls, presented in alternating quarters of deep indigo and ivory against the vibrant red ground. This highly disciplined, repeating structure creates a mesmerizing allover design that defines the aesthetic of the Central Asian tradition. The careful use of dark blue and cream provides necessary contrast and visual depth.
