High Quality
Handmade from Hand-spun Wool
Hand-selected from Afghanistan

Style: The term Turkmen Tekke Engsi rug refers to a specific type of rug produced by the Tekke Turkmen people, a Turkic ethnic group in Central Asia. "Engsi" is a Turkmen word that means "door rug" or "hanging." These rugs were traditionally used as decorative rugs, often hung at the entrance of a Turkmen tent or dwelling.

Tekke Turkmen rugs, including the Engsi variety, are known for their distinctive design elements and patterns. They typically feature a central medallion surrounded by geometric motifs, including octagonal guls (medallion designs), hooked motifs, and various borders. The colours used in these rugs are often rich and vibrant, with red, deep blue, and ivory being common.

Engsi rugs serve both a practical and symbolic purpose. They were used to cover the entrance of the tent to protect from wind and sand, and the intricate designs often held cultural and spiritual significance within the Turkmen community.

This particular rug is a modern reproduction of the traditional Turkmen Tekke Engsi rug. The Chobi quality makes the rugs esteemed for their quality, characterized by the use of hand-spun, natural wool, intricate designs with precise patterns, vegetable dyeing techniques producing subtle earthy tones, a meticulous hand-knotting process for durability, and well-crafted finishing details such as neatly finished edges and secure fringes. The origin, size, and knot density also contribute to the overall quality, making Chobi rugs a durable and aesthetically pleasing choice for home decor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the rug look the same in person as it does online?

We photograph every rug in natural light with minimal editing, so the colours you see are as true to life as possible. It’s something we take a lot of care with, and something our customers often comment on.

That said, colours can shift slightly depending on your screen or the lighting in your home. If you’d like extra photos or a video before purchasing, we’re always happy to help.

How long does delivery usually take?

Delivery times depend on your location.

For most Australian orders, delivery is quite quick. NSW and VIC typically arrive within 1–2 business days, the ACT within 2–3 business days, QLD and TAS within 2–4 business days, and WA and the NT within 3–6 business days.

Most international deliveries arrive within 1–4 weeks.

You can find more detailed timeframes on our Shipping & Delivery page: Shipping & Delivery.

Can I see this rug in person before I decide?

Of course. You’re very welcome to visit our Rowville warehouse to view rugs in person.

If there’s a particular piece you’d like to see, just let us know in advance and we’ll have it ready for you.

All visits are by appointment, but we’re very flexible with timing and happy to work around what suits you best. Feel free to give us a call or message us anytime and we’ll find a time that works.

What if the rug isn't quite right?

We want you to feel completely confident in your purchase. If something doesn’t feel right once you’ve seen it in your space, we’re here to help.

We accept returns or exchanges on full-priced items, meaning pieces that are not part of our clearance collection.

Returns must be initiated within 4 days of receiving your order, or within 4 days of purchase if bought in person.

As each rug is handmade and one of a kind, we keep this window short so that any returned piece can be offered again in the same condition.

Rugs must be returned in the same condition they were received.
