This antique Afghan Ersari Turkmen carpet dates from 1900 and displays a traditional tribal design with four vertical rows of six large octagonal guls woven by the Suleyman sub tribe of the Ersari in northern Afghanistan. The hand-knotted wool pile exhibits a soft warm orange and brown or terracotta colour palette accented with navy geometric motifs and abrash colour shading, enclosed by detailed border bands. Visible signs of age include some wear that is heavier in places alongside a medium to low pile. Measuring 440 cm high by 340 cm wide and 1 cm deep, this large country house size furnishing rug is suitable for normal domestic floor use. Positioned on a floor in a living room or dining room, the carpet establishes an English country house aesthetic while providing warmth underfoot. The durable hand-knotted construction makes the rug practical for high-traffic areas where traditional tribal textiles provide both texture and historical character. Regular foot traffic sits comfortably on the wool pile, bringing authentic nomadic design into contemporary domestic interiors.

FAQs

Ersari Turkmen carpets are hand-knotted textiles traditionally created by the Ersari sub-tribe of Central Asia, characterised by geometric octagonal designs known as guls and rich terracotta or deep madder hues.

These carpets are woven primarily using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using natural plant and insect extracts to achieve deep rust, indigo, and neutral earth shades.

Authentic examples feature hand-knotted construction, subtle variations in weave density, soft abrash colour tonal shifts, and wool warps rather than rigid modern synthetic backings.

A large geometric tribal carpet serves as an grounding element in contemporary spaces, providing balance to minimalist furniture through rich organic texture and architectural patterns.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar, rotate the carpet annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and treat liquid spills immediately with cold water and dry blotting.
