About the Item

Large oversized tribal rug Afghan Ersari Turkoman or Turkmen rug Beautiful antique tribal Turkmen carpet in great condition. These carpets are named "Gentlemens Carpet" since in the late 19th century carpets of this type often decorated libraries in British Houses and Villas. After Dinner it was common that the Gentlemen separated from the Ladies and went into the library to smoke cigars and have a drink. This oversize carpet comes from a Scottish property. The Turkmen or Turkoman people are settling in villages in Afghanistan an Turkmenistan near the Persian border. Their origin is tribal nomadic, but most members of the tribes have settled in villages in the last decades. Typical for most Turkoman carpets is their geometric design made of wide borders and a repeating inner field with symbols called "Gul" The design of the Gul and the borders tell a lot, which tribe of Turkoman made the rug. The rug listed has oktogonal main Guls (eight edged) in 3 rows divided by smaller minor Guls. This rug has a wool with silk-like shine, a color best defined as rust copper combined with brown and blueish motives. There are color changes within the filed called "Abrash" which comes from different batches of wool. This results typiocal stripes of different color. Since tribal people usually have smaller portable looms, it is normal that they make small rugs. Most Turkmen rugs found are between 4 x 6 ft and 8 x 11 ft. For this reason, this 13 x 10 ft rug is a so called oversized or "Khan" rug = leader of highest nobility. The condition of this beautiful rug is excellent. It has full pile, perfect fringe and selvedge. • Beautiful vintage rug • All hand made, hand knotted • Pile pure wool, warp and weft wool • Traditional design, very unique rug • Condition: Excellent.
