Ersari rug 11.2 x 16.4 ft Palace size tribal Turkmen hand knotted antique carpet

About the Item

Large oversized tribal rug Afghan Ersari Turkoman or Turkmen rug - "one of a kind" decorative tribal Art. 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 24 octagonal main Guls (eight edged) in 3 rows divided by smaller minor Guls. This one has a wool with silk-like shine, a color best defined as brick red combined with blue and brown motives. 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 15 x 11 ft rug is a so called oversized or "Khan" rug = leader of highest nobility. The condition of this beautiful rug is good. It has good pile, original kilim border on one side and original selvedge. It has two restored spots, the larger one is shown on the last two images. • Beautiful vintage rug • All handmade, hand knotted • Pile pure wool, warp and weft wool • Traditional design, very unique rug, typical abrash color changes from different batches of wool • Condition: Good. Full pile, great condition. Just fresh washed, some old repairs and restorations and folds within the pile. • Land of origin: Afghanistan Please note: Tribal rugs with warp and weft made of wool are never perfectly straight and don´t lay 100% flat. For this reason, we recommend the use of a rug pad to stabilize the rug on the floor. All of our rugs, carpets and Kilims are original vintage or antique pieces. They are hand washed and ready to use. All rugs are used and have appropriate condition to their age. The Djoharian Design Collection is located in Germany, all our rugs are shipped from there.
