This is the 3rd of the Tekke 5 pieces we bought at the same estate sale. We are going to keep 3 of the 5 pieces and sale the other 2. This is one of the 2 we will be selling. It is similar to the Tekke Ensi I posted earlier in the same design and structure except it has these faded, fuchine mottled dyes which I read were used at the end of 19th century. Other than that, it has good pile with no worn areas. The browns and blues appear intact as the original colors. It is soft with a blanket handle. Does it have any value with these colors with collectors? If I hadn't seen the others ones we are keeping, I would have kept them for our collection. Please tell me how old and what you think of it??? Thanks all.

Hi cartons
All the tekkes are 1900/10
Turkoman collectors are very particular
Any damage and they will not be interested
Repairs cost a lot of money
I was quoted £1000.00 for 3 sq inches
Collectors will only cope with wear and damage if the design is unusual (salor is what you want to find tekkes to common)
I have had similar ones and I get about £150/200 for them
Hope that helps
