FAQs

An Ensi is a specific genre of rug hand-woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes, traditionally crafted to serve as a decorative hanging at the entrance of a yurt (tent). The design typically incorporates a cruciform or four-panel layout known as a hatchli, symbolic of dividing the inner sanctuary from the outer world.

Authentic nineteenth-century Turkmen Ensi rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced sheeps wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation. The deep aubergine, liver-brown, navy, and terracotta shades are derived from traditional natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic Yomut Ensis feature a characteristic red-brown or dark mahogany field with a structured four-part central grid. They are distinguished by fine knotting, serrated geometric motifs, and broad bottom skirts (elems) often depicting stylised tree or chevron patterns.

These textiles are frequently layered over natural fibre floorings such as sisal or jute to add geometric structure and rich earth tones to a room. They also function well alongside dark timber furniture, leather seating, or mounted directly onto walls as acoustic textile artwork.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating beater bar to prevent fiber damage. Professional hand-washing by a specialist rug restorer is recommended, along with using a high-quality rug underlay to protect the foundation from uneven wear.
