Turkmen Ersari 2178

This early 20th-century Turkmen Ersari main carpet presents a bold and authentic tribal design in an allover Gul (octagonal medallion) pattern. The composition features three columns of large geometric medallions, each framed by lattice-like motifs inspired by Kufic symbolism in navy and black.

The rug’s rich brick red field is balanced with design accents in navy, French blue, ivory, and black, creating depth and visual contrast. Its primary border continues the theme with geometric forms in complementary tones, while finely woven flatwoven kilim ends add a traditional finishing touch.

Valued for both its cultural authenticity and decorative versatility, this vintage Ersari rug embodies the artistry of Central Asian weaving traditions. Its large scale, vibrant palette, and geometric symmetry make it a compelling choice for collectors, designers, and homeowners seeking a statement piece that elevates interiors with warmth and heritage.
