Description
Small, square Turkmen rugs were often made as wedding rugs i.e. for the bride and groom to stand on at their wedding ceremony and take their marriage vows. They were finely knotted and prized possessions, never intended for sale.This charming little wedding rug was made by Teke tibes in Turkmenistan during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and comprises four vertical rows of eight Teke 'guls' (tribal crests). The rug is in very good overall condition bar a few very tiny old repairs, and is complete with decorated 'elems' or skirts each end.
