Turkmen nomadic carpet 152 x 87 cm, antique hand-knotted.

For lovers of character pieces and objects steeped in history, this rug offers a true immersion into the nomadic heritage of Central Asia. Far from commercial productions, this Ersari rug (circa 1920-1930) is an authentic household piece, with every detail reflecting ancestral tribal craftsmanship: A unique archaic structure: This rug features a weave incorporating horsehair, a rare and rustic nomadic technique observable directly at the fringes. This material was used for its durability and protective symbolism within the tent. An organic flexibility: Thanks to the use of rich wool and traditional tribal knotting, the rug possesses extreme flexibility. It is not rigid like a modern rug, but malleable and soft to the touch, folding almost like a garment. A palette of natural colours: The diamond decoration (Guls) is highlighted by shades of madder red and earthy ochre. It presents an organic and warm aesthetic, typical of the camps in the Amou-Daria valley. Authentic finishes: The cotton edges complement this robust structure designed to last. Condition and Patina: This rug proudly bears the marks of time. Its patina of use and two shaded areas, visible on the reverse, are natural witnesses to its past life and tribal authenticity. It is precisely this history that makes it a unique collector's piece for a bohemian chic or contemporary interior. Dimensions: 152 X 97 cm. Origin: Tribal work (Ersari/Beshir) Rug thoroughly cleaned.
