Back
Antique Tekke Turkmen (Turkoman), later 3rd or 4th quarter 19th century, virtually complete, 4' 1" x 3' 8". Great color and unique elem design, overall good condition with a few issues. Has very old repair (a 1 1/2" x 2" patch of similar design), two small holes (one repaired on foundation but not piled, the other left alone) and about 3" of loss to selvedge on either side extending into outer guard borders. Pile is fairly consistent throughout with no foundation wear, excepting few warp lines peeking through and very tiny spot of old moth bites 1/8" x 1/2" with good pile interspersed in that spot (visible only on close inspection). All corners complete (slight curling under, one corner curling up). Notwithstanding the issues candidly described, a striking, very old and useable piece if selvedges are reattached.
