Antique Tekke Bukhara Rug - Circa 1920s Single-Knot Hand-Knotted Turkmen Carpet
This exquisite antique Tekke Bukhara rug is a rare, collectible masterpiece, demonstrating the extraordinary weaving heritage of Central Asian nomads. Woven by skilled Tekke Turkmen artisans circa 1920, this approximately 100-year-old carpet represents the pinnacle of tribal textile art.
The rug is meticulously crafted using the traditional single-knot (asymmetric / Senneh) technique, which allows for highly detailed, precise geometric layouts and a softer, more fluid textile handle. The central field is adorned with beautifully aligned rows of the classic 'Gul' motif, symbolizing prosperity and tribal protection. Crafted entirely from 100% hand-spun organic wool and saturated with organic vegetable dyes, the rug boasts a rich, red-forward palette of deep crimson and burgundy tones, elegantly contrasted by natural ivory highlights and dark charcoal structures.
Unlike modern mass-produced rugs, this genuine antique has aged gracefully, developing a soft, silky patina and an incredible texture that feels velvety underfoot. Perfect for adding historic soul, graphic warmth, and timeless luxury to both traditional estates and modern minimalist interiors.
