This is an extremely rare purple group Tekke Ensi. The wool is as good as I have ever seen in the best Turkmen. This is a serious collectors piece.
Color is difficult over the internet, please review the Direct Scan below for the best representation of color in this rug.
Recently the so-called Purple Group Tekkes have been raised to prominence in rug studies. This is a great example.
