Vintage Ersari Rug in Red With Geometric Medallions, From Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool, originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 10×15 vintage Ersari rug is from the same provenance, a sub-tribe of the Turkmen people, often known for their more distinct tribal rug designs.

On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this design which is an exemplar of the beauties that distinguish Ersari rugs and their tribal rug designs. Colors have aged particularly beautifully, as one can see in the brightest hues one seldom sees so crisp and lively for even a vintage rug of this period—a collectible and rich work of folk art with a more dense repeat than many of its provenance enjoy as well. Admirers of the craft may admire this regal colorway of bright, coral red and blue underscore a play of medallion and all over style, with some rich brown accents noticeable in the geometry of both field and border alike. Keen eyes for detail will note that the medallions are very reminiscent of the Bokhara tribal style.

Condition:

This vintage Ersari rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
