Antique Central Asian Tekke Rug

No. 25460
Central Asia, Circa 1880
4 ft. 5 in. x 4 ft. 11 in.
(1.34 x 1.49 m)

An antique Central Asian Tekke rug. The engsi is a Turkoman door rug on the domestic round yurt. The four-panel layout is typical of most engsis, but the ashik tree border and similar lower extra skirt (elem) are typically Tekke. The red is from natural madder and this somewhat worn antique scatter is totally authentic and nomadic.
