Large oversized tribal rug Afghan Ersari Turkoman or Turkmen rug - "one of a kind" decorative tribal Art. Ersari Rugs: Timeless Handcrafted Treasures from Central Asia Ersari rugs are iconic pieces of art, handwoven by the skilled artisans of the Ersari Turkoman tribes in Turkmenistan. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and deep cultural significance, these rugs bring a touch of history, tradition, and vibrant color to any space. With their striking designs and durable quality, Ersari rugs are a perfect blend of artistry and functionality, making them a highly sought-after choice for rug collectors and interior design enthusiasts alike. Crafted with Tradition: Materials & Techniques Ersari rugs are made from the finest wool sourced from sheep grazing in the vast, rugged landscapes of Central Asia. The wool is carefully spun and dyed using natural, plant-based dyes, resulting in rich, earthy tones that remain vibrant over time. Many Ersari rugs also incorporate cotton to enhance their strength and longevity. The knots used in Ersari rugs are tight and intricate, a hallmark of their craftsmanship, making each piece not only a functional floor covering but also a durable and long-lasting work of art. Vibrant Colors & Patterns Ersari rugs are renowned for their bold color palettes and striking geometric designs. The rugs typically feature shades of deep red, rust, burgundy, and earthy brown, combined with accents of blue, yellow, and cream. These colors are derived from natural dyes, giving the rugs their unique, rich hues. The design motifs commonly include medallions, repeating patterns, and symbolic "gul" motifs, which hold deep cultural meaning within the Ersari tribe. These rugs are a visual representation of the tribe’s nomadic heritage, and the color combinations often symbolize nature, life, and spiritual beliefs. The Ersari Tribe: A Rich Cultural Legacy The Ersari Turkoman tribe, known for its nomadic lifestyle, has been weaving rugs for centuries. These rugs not only serve as practical items in everyday life, such as floor coverings in tents or yurts, but also represent the artistic expression of the tribe. The Ersari people take pride in their tradition of rug-making, with each design reflecting the environment, culture, and beliefs of the tribe. The geometric and floral patterns found in Ersari rugs often tell stories of the tribe’s past, their connection to nature, and the symbolism behind the designs. Why Choose an Ersari Rug? Ersari rugs are more than just floor coverings; they are timeless works of art that embody the history and craftsmanship of the Ersari tribe. With their exceptional durability and stunning aesthetic, these rugs make an ideal addition to any home. Whether you're looking for a piece that tells a story, adds warmth and character to your space, or enhances your collection of traditional textiles, an Ersari rug offers both beauty and history in one unique piece. 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 36 octagonal main Guls (eight edged) in 3 rows divided by smaller minor Guls. The golden / beige copper color is very unusual since most Turkoman rugs are made in a bright tomato red. This one has a wool with silk-like shine, a color best defined as very light copper combined with ivory 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 13 x 10 ft rug...

It was named after the Anglo-Swiss company Ziegler & Co. based in Manchester. From the mid-1880s it was a producer and dealer in carpets from Persia and had production facilities in the Azerbaijan / Tabriz region, Sarough Sultanabad (today Arak) and Mahal. In contrast to the more colorful rugs of earlier eras, Ziegler rugs were made in softer and often lighter tones. The knot density was medium fine, the wool quality very good. Today, original Ziegler carpets are sought-after. Ziegler carpets are currently being knotted in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India and are sold under the following names: Ziegler Carpet, Ziegler Farahan, Ziegler Mahal and Ziegler Ariana. The designs are often based on the originals, the colors are often reduced to a few shades within a carpet. This creates rugs with calm elegance, which refine a room in a modern, upscale furnishing style, ideal as a decorative but calm design element. In addition to designs from Farahan, Mahal, Sultanabad, Oushak and Khotan motifs are also used in modern Ziegler carpets. High-quality new sheep's wool is used as the base material for the wear layer. This comes from the region (Ghanzi wool) as well as from New Zealand. The color pigments are of natural origin (vegetable colors) in higher-quality qualities. Typical colors of Ziegler carpets are beige, rut, grey, blue, black and green. A special wash gives the carpets a light vintage look and a subtle sheen. Coarser and cheaper Ziegler carpets are often referred to as Chobi Ziegler carpets, fine and finest Ziegler carpets as Ariana or Aryana / Ariana Ziegler carpets. Ziegler carpets are knotted in many formats. In Europe, the most common are 180 x 120 cm or 6 x 4 ft, 200 x 150 cm or 7 x 5 ft, 240 x 300 cm or 8 x 10 ft, 300 x 200 cm or 10 x 7 ft, 360 x 270 cm. or 12 x 9 ft Our customers in the USA and Great Britain are more often looking for oversized in 15 x 12 ft...

For millennia, Central Asian nomads relied on age-old designs. Felt, prized for its insulation and portability, featured prominently in their lives until its decline a few decades ago. Essential within yurts, it often served as protective coverings for entrances. Originating from Sistan, an isolated area straddling Iran and Afghanistan, Namad felts have endured unchanged, adorned with ancient symbols. Their remarkable modernity stems from their isolation from urban decorative influences, preserving their remote motifs through the ages. The felts we have on offer originate from a collection that was acquired at Altai Gallery in Milan, a high-end gallery specialized in antique rugs and tapestries. Origination: Afghanistan, end 1900s. Provenance: Altai Gallery Milano. Certificate provided. Condition: Good, considering age. Reinforcing repairs have been made over the years on the underside. Please note that the felt wool rug...
