About the Item

Large sized tribal rug Afghan Ersari Turkoman or Turkmen rug - "one of a kind" decorative tribal Art. Ersari Rugs: Traditional Handwoven Masterpieces Ersari rugs are exquisite, handwoven textiles known for their intricate designs and rich cultural heritage. Crafted by the Ersari Turkoman tribes of Central Asia, these rugs reflect centuries of tradition, skill, and artistry passed down through generations. The Ersari tribe, primarily based in Turkmenistan, is renowned for producing high-quality, durable rugs that capture the essence of nomadic life while showcasing stunning craftsmanship. Materials and Craftsmanship Ersari rugs are traditionally made from high-quality wool, sheared from sheep raised in the harsh, vast landscapes of Central Asia. The wool is dyed with natural plant-based dyes, ensuring vibrant yet long-lasting colors. Some Ersari rugs feature a combination of wool and cotton for added durability and flexibility. The knotting technique used in Ersari rugs is a distinctive part of their appeal, with fine, dense knots contributing to the overall texture and durability of the rugs. Color Combinations Ersari rugs are celebrated for their rich, warm colors, including deep reds, earthy browns, vibrant blues, and bold oranges. The designs often feature geometric patterns, medallions, and symbolic motifs, with each color having specific cultural meanings. The deep reds and burgundies are achieved through the use of natural dyes made from plants, while other colors like blue and yellow are often derived from minerals and other locally sourced materials. Tribal Influence The Ersari Turkoman tribe is known for its nomadic lifestyle, which influences the design and use of their rugs. These rugs often serve practical purposes in daily life, from providing warmth and comfort to protecting the floors of tents or yurts. The tribe’s artistic expression is seen through the distinctive motifs that reflect their history, culture, and environment. Patterns such as the "gul" (flower-like motifs) and geometric shapes are commonly found in Ersari rugs, each telling a story of the tribe's journey, beliefs, and values. Why Choose an Ersari Rug? An Ersari rug is more than just a decorative piece—it's a symbol of the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Ersari Turkoman tribe. Whether you're looking for a piece to add warmth to your home or seeking a timeless heirloom, an Ersari rug offers both beauty and durability. Each rug is unique, with no two pieces exactly alike, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection. 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 octagonal main Guls (eight edged) in rows divided by smaller minor Guls. The rust copper color is very unusual since most Turkoman rugs are made in a bright tomato red. This one has wool with silk-like shine, a color best defined as copper combined with blue, green 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 6 x 8 ft. For this reason, this 7 x 10 ft. rug is a rather large rug. The size will go well for a dining room, family room, living room, conference room or elegant office.
