Old Tekke

Craftsmanship and timeless elegance come together in this rug in dark green. With a knot density of around 420,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. At 295 × 87 cm it is well suited as a hallway runner. It shows to equally fine effect in the kitchen in front of the worktop. Colouring and texture give any room a homely, exclusive note – a one-of-a-kind piece that will last for years.

Origin

The Tekke are the main tribe of the Turkmen. They live in the Republic of Turkmenistan and in Afghanistan. In earlier times the Tekke were nomads and much given to raiding. Today most of them are settled and live peacefully as farmers. After the break-up of the Soviet empire, however, some returned to a nomadic way of life. The majority of the Tekke live in the now independent Republic of Turkmenistan, where they knot rugs in the cities of Ashgabat and Mary and the surrounding areas.

During the communist revolution, numerous Tekke clans migrated to the neighbouring states of Afghanistan and Iran. Others settled in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Tekke rugs are among the celebrated Turkmen rugs, and their patterns are copied in Pakistan as well. Tekke rugs are also traded as Bukhara rugs. Bukhara (sometimes spelled Bokhara) is an oasis city in Uzbekistan on the former Silk Road. Although no rugs were ever knotted in Bukhara itself, the city gave its name to many Oriental rugs because they were traditionally exported to the West from there. These rugs were in fact knotted by Turkmen tribes such as the Yomud or the Tekke.

This Old Tekke is around 86 years old and a real collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old Tekke was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Old Tekke is made of new wool.

Condition

This Old Tekke has already had admirers before you. It was knotted around 1940. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.
