They reside in the Republic of Turkmenistan and in Afghanistan. In the past, the Tekke lived nomadically and relied heavily on looting. Today most of them are settled and live as peaceful farmers. After the dissolution of the Soviet Empire, however, some have returned to nomadism. The Tekke mostly inhabit the now independent Republic of Turkmenistan, where they make rugs in the cities of Ashghabad and Mari and their vicinity. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nDuring the communist revolution, numerous Tekke clans migrated to the neighboring countries of Afghanistan and Iran. Others settled in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Tekke rugs are among the famous Turkmen rugs whose patterns are also reproduced in Pakistan. Tekke rugs are also traded as Bukhara rugs. \u003cb\u003eBukhara\u003c\/b\u003e (partly also Bokhara) is an oasis city in Uzbekistan, which is located along the former Silk Road. Although no rugs were knotted in Bukhara itself, the city gave its name to many oriental rugs, because they were traditionally exported to the West from Bukhara. But these rugs were knotted by Turkmen tribes like the Yomoudh or Tekke. This old Tekke is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The \u003cb\u003e abstract, geometric composition\u003c\/b\u003e creates the simple elegance of this Tekke. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room..\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The \u003cb\u003eembellished edging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e forms a excellent contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The repeating elements in the center field of this Tekke rug have no specific center (so-called \u003cb\u003e repeating pattern\u003c\/b\u003e). The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with \u003cb\u003e repeating patterns\u003c\/b\u003e are also called patterned.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e In the pattern of this Tekke, the \u003cb\u003ediamonds\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e stand out in particular. Diamonds are a rhombus standing on a point, the four equal sides of which may be jagged, stitched or hooked. The diamond is one of the oldest basic forms in oriental rugs. It has a symbolic meaning in the Islamic world: it symbolizes the immortality of the soul. It is therefore very often found as a filler motif.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe color of this [region of origin\/design] ist wine red.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou are not the first to appreciate this Tekke. It has had owners before you who have cherished and used it.  It was hand knotted about \u003cb\u003e 1920\u003c\/b\u003e. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly.

Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Tekke are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255178965085,"sku":"17668","price":4620.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17668_gesamt_1e83474c-286c-4bf0-80c3-77e894b761a0.jpg?v=1586913717","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/alter-tekke-teppich-335-x-253-17668","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
