FAQs

Ersari carpets originate from the Ersari tribe of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, traditionally distinguished by their use of muted madder red tones, spacious field layouts, and characteristic gol or octagonal guls rather than the dense geometric patterns of other Turkmen groups.

These pieces are handknotted using high-quality handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation structure, employing vegetable dyes such as madder root for reds and indigo for dark blues to achieve rich, enduring colours.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the wool quality, natural dye oxidisation, irregular knot density on the reverse, and characteristic tribal border motifs combined with genuine wear patterns consistent with age.

An antique tribal rug functions well as a grounding element in contemporary spaces, providing rich texture and historical contrast when paired with neutral upholstery, clean architectural lines, and minimalist furnishings.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional cleaning by specialists in antique textiles, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent friction and moisture accumulation.
