Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1870s:
Hand-knotted wool foundation visible on the reverse: traditional tribal loom production.
Horizontal colour variations across the red field: hand-dyed wool from small dye batches.
Dark brown wool motifs sitting slightly lower than the red: natural dye oxidisation.
Subtle softening across the wool pile: many years of light domestic use.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Cataloguer’s note

Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period19th century
  • SizeH 330 cm (130 in) x W 250 cm (98 in)

This antique Turkmen carpet originates from the Ersary tribes of the middle Amu Darya region in Central Asia, dating to around 1870. The piece is rendered in a terracotta ground colour with deep blue and soft red motifs, displaying three vertical rows of seven Ersari tribal crests, known as guls, interspersed with smaller geometric diamond medallions. A wide patterned border frames the field, while fringing finishes both ends of the textile. The floor covering measures 330 cm high and 250 cm wide, providing a substantial scale suited to large living spaces or reception rooms. It demonstrates very good overall condition with very minor areas of wear visible across the pile, preserving its intricate traditional design for everyday residential use.
