Details

A rich crimson field is tightly packed with alternating rows of classic Tekke guls and stepped diamond-shaped minor motifs, each drawn with crisp precision in black, ivory, and touches of saffron and green. The texture is satisfyingly dense underfoot, with fine wool fibers and a sheared pile that glows with tonal abrash. This is a bold, geometric statement with deeply rooted nomadic symbolism—an heirloom-scale rug with quiet strength.
