Fine Early Tekke Main Carpet
New
239 (290 with kilim ends) x 193 cm
7' 10" (9' 6" with kilim ends) x 6' 4"
Turkmenistan, first half 19th century
Condition: very good according to age, full pile, several small old repairs, signs of use at kilim ends
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool
The English collector David Reuben studied 160 early Tekke main carpets as the basis for his definitive article on the subject in HALI 145 (2006). According to his findings, this carpet conforms to all of the characteristics found in the earliest group of Tekke main carpets with the standard göl layout: the long elems containing blue or green lines, a field of 10 x 4 göls, and an early form of the bird bracket on the horizontal axis of the göl.
The secondary chemche güls have an off set colour change, switching from blue to a deep green, and have no additi onal crosses or arrows and are not connected to each other on either axis.
The clarity of the drawing and the height of the main göls are particularly noteworthy, as are the colour and generous spacing of the border. The evenness of the knots between the horizontal and vertical suggests an early date of origin.
Estimate: € 15000 - 20000
