This captivating piece of history is not merely a rug but a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of the Ersari tribe. Drenched in a palette of outstanding colors, this carpet is a visual feast for connoisseurs of fine art. Designed with meticulous care, it showcases three rows of six large guls of diamond shape, adding a touch of grandeur to its overall aesthetic. The sheer decorative and collectible value of this masterpiece is evident in every intricate detail. Having undergone professional cleaning, this antique treasure emerges with a story to tell. Its condition, displaying signs of heavy wear and distress, only adds to the allure of its authenticity. Far from being a flaw, the wear and tear bear witness to the passage of time, reflecting the carpet's journey through the nomadic life of the Ersari tribe. The Ersari tribe, an integral part of the Turkman group, once inhabited the northeastern region of present-day Afghanistan. With a rich history of carpet weaving spanning centuries, they stand as pioneers in the craft. This particular carpet stands as a testament to their enduring legacy, showcasing the earliest instances of their exceptional skill and dedication to the art. What truly sets these rugs apart are the imperfections that have come to be cherished by collectors worldwide. Rather than flaws, they represent the authentic nature of the craft. Natural materials, subject to variation from batch to batch, coupled with the challenges of nomadic life, where looms were regularly folded for transport and reassembled at new campsites, have given rise to charming irregularities. These idiosyncrasies transform each rug into a unique work of art, resonating with the essence of the nomadic lifestyle. In acquiring this antique Ersari Turkman carpet, you not only bring home a captivating piece of history but also contribute to the preservation of a craft that transcends time. Every thread, every imperfection, tells a story, inviting you to delve into the cultural tapestry of the Ersari tribe and their enduring legacy in the world of carpet weaving.ABOUT ELI PEER ORIENTAL RUGS Our Service Pledge We respond to all orders within 24 hours, we guarantee the authenticity of all our items About Us The home of Eli Peer Oriental Rugs is Evanston, Illinois, the academic center on Chicago’s North Shore.
