FAQs

Ersari carpets are traditional tribal floor coverings hand-knotted by the Ersari tribe of Turkmenistan, typically characterised by deep madder red grounds and geometric guls.

Authentic pieces are constructed entirely from natural materials, featuring hand-spun wool piles on wool or cotton foundations, dyed with organic vegetable colourants such as madder and indigo.

Authentication involves examining the weave density, natural dye variations across the pile, hand-spun wool irregularities, and the specific structural characteristics of the fringe and selvedges.

Such substantial pieces serve as a foundational anchor for a room, pairing effectively with neutral furnishings and patinated wood furniture to balance the rich visual weight of the textile.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, and the use of quality underlays to prevent friction wear and slippage.
