No. 621 - Vintage Turkmen Ersari Rug Product Number: No. 621 Age: 1960s Origin: Maimana / Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 197cm x 283cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 6mm This rug, with its dazzling, vibrant red color combined with a grid of black, creating a sense of depth, is a tribal rug crafted by the Ersari, a Turkmen tribe residing in northern Afghanistan. It's a large size, perfect for covering a living room. The Suleiman Gul, often humorously referred to as "elephant's footprints," characteristic of Ersari rugs, is striking. The beige accents woven into the design add an element of elegance. Personally, when selecting rugs, I usually base my decision on the finely detailed, mille-feuille-like border patterns, but this one is exceptional, taking my breath away. Although it's a 60-year-old vintage rug, it shows little wear and tear. It's in mint condition, with no noticeable stains or damage, and no repairs. The pile is short, with a smooth texture. At 5mm, it's a thin Ersari rug, making it suitable for year-round use as a main rug.

Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we may not notice. We purchase these rugs from local sellers as cleaned, but please be aware that some sand or pile debris may remain. Finally, regarding the rug itself, it has the characteristic smell of wool. Measurements are taken from the center, but please understand that there may be variations due to the distortions inherent in hand-woven rugs, shrinkage from washing, and color unevenness due to aging and natural dyes. These are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
