FAQs

Ersari rugs are woven by the Ersari tribe, one of the major Turkmen groups of Central Asia, traditionally characterised by deep madder red grounds and distinctive geometric guls.

These rugs are typically constructed with handspun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using natural materials such as madder root and indigo, and secured with hand-knotted pile.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of the hand-knotted weave, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, the use of organic dyes, and the specific structural characteristics of the fringe and selvedges.

Such pieces function effectively as grounding elements in contemporary spaces, adding warmth and texture when placed on hard flooring like timber or polished concrete.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to protect the natural dyes.
