Oosters tapijt 1875 - 1925

This Ersari rug, titled "Oosters tapijt," is a fine example of traditional Turkmen rug weaving, dating back to the 19th or early 20th centuries. The rug's intricate design features a central field with a repeating geometric motif of stylized flower-like shapes in shades of black, blue, and cream on a deep red background. The borders are equally complex, filled with geometric patterns and a vibrant palette of colors. The rug is a testament to the artistry and skill of Turkmen weavers. It's also known as "Ersari" or "Turkmen" rug.
