Red Bokara Design Antique Tekke Allover Tribal Geometric Turkmen Rug

Antique Tekke Caucasus Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of Central Asian weaving tradition dates to the mid-nineteenth century, a period when the nomadic tribes of the region produced some of their most iconic textiles. The deep, saturated madder field immediately anchors this piece in its Rug origins, showcasing the mastery of natural dyes. The design is defined by the classic Tekke gul, a repeating octagonal motif rendered in rich red, dark teal, and ivory highlights. This powerful, rhythmic structure establishes an allover rugs pattern, where the design repeats infinitely across the field, minimizing the visual dominance of the central medallion typical of other traditions. The precise knotting and complex geometry are hallmarks of the tekke tribal aesthetic.
