FAQs

Ersari carpets are traditional woven textiles produced by the Ersari tribe, one of the major Turkmen groups residing in Central Asia, historically known for distinctive geometric motifs and rich red colour palettes.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed using natural vegetable and insect-based colourants.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit irregularities characteristic of nomadic craftsmanship, natural abrash in the wool dyes, dense hand-knotting, and traditional tribal guls or octagonal motifs.

An antique tribal rug functions well as a grounding element in contemporary or minimalist spaces, adding texture, warmth, and historical depth to wooden or stone flooring.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without rotating beater bars, professional specialist cleaning when required, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect natural dyes.
