How do I identify an Ersari design?

Ersari designs typically display large, bold guls and rich madder red colour fields with less intricate secondary ornamentation than other tribal styles. Their carpets often span generous room sizes. They also frequently incorporate shrub or elephant foot motifs arranged across spacious fields, distinguishing them from finer, more densely packed weaves.

What is a prayer rug used for?

Prayer rugs feature a distinct architectural mihrab arch that indicates the direction of prayer during daily worship. They were utilised as personal, portable carpets by individuals. Collectors prize them for their concentrated symbolism, such as double lanterns or rams horn details contained within a compact format.

How do I care for an old wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar prevents dirt accumulation within the hand-spun wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to natural dyes preserves the integrity of the fibres. Keeping the textile out of direct, harsh sunlight protects the natural red and gold tones from fading over decades of display.

How are different tribal periods told apart?

Earlier pieces from the nineteenth century generally exhibit finer hand-spun wool, deeper natural dye saturation, and specific structural traits like goat hair foundations. Twentieth-century examples often shift toward standardised village production. Examining the border structures, knot density, and secondary palette helps assign pieces to eras ranging from eighteen-eighty through to nineteen-thirty.
