Description

Size: 17ft 3in x 7ft 4in (527 x 223cm).
Antique Afghan Ersari Turkmen carpet of large size and excellent colour.
Circa 1900.
This unusual carpet was made by the settled Ersari Turkmen of Northern Afghanistan, the long narrow shape (known as a kelleh) would suggest that it was made as an audience carpet, or commissioned for a specific room in a notable building. The carpet has an open field covered with small stars; this is framed by multiple borders in traditional designs. The carpet has a superb colour palette, it glows with a warm burgundy red. Note the original kilim end finishes at both ends.
The carpet is in excellent condition with slight even wear and good pile, this is a superb furnishing carpet that is ideal for a grand entrance hall way. There are one or two very small old historic repairs.
The carpet is suitable for heavy domestic floor use.
