Description
Tekke small rug, Turkmenistan, first half 19th century.With such a cheery, cherry red pile, the origin of this exceptional little rug might be thought to be Ersari. Three vertical rows of six octagonal guls show distinct connections to Salor motifs found in other pieces in the Marsh Collection. They alternate with secondary devices that also appear in some Ersari and other Central Asian pieces. But the weave is strictly Tekke and it is a unique item in the Marsh Collection. It is a curious and captivating little rug with a lot of life in its sparkling palette.
