About the Item
A magnificent antique Afghan Ersari rug from the 1920s, showcasing the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship of Turkmen tribal weaving. This impressive hand-knotted wool piece features the classic Ersari design: a field of meticulously arranged guls (tribal medallions) in precise rows across a vibrant coral-red ground, creating a mesmerizing pattern that exemplifies the geometric sophistication of Central Asian textiles.
The rug displays the iconic Ersari gul motif—octagonal medallions with quartered interiors in deep burgundy and black, each outlined with cream accents. These repeating medallions are arranged in perfect symmetry across the field, demonstrating the weaver's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The rich color palette combines luminous coral-red with deep burgundy, creating subtle tonal variations that add depth and visual interest.
The multiple border system is equally impressive, featuring wide bands of geometric patterns in deep burgundy with repeating diamond and latch-hook motifs, all framed by narrower guard borders. This architectural border structure provides a strong visual frame that enhances the overall composition while maintaining the traditional Turkmen aesthetic.
In notably good condition for its age, this substantial piece retains excellent pile integrity and vibrant natural dyes throughout. The generous room-size dimensions and well-preserved state make this a rare find—perfect as a statement piece for collectors of Turkmen textiles or as a stunning foundation for any interior seeking authentic tribal artistry and historical significance.
