Oosters tapijt 1800 - 1900

This "Oosters tapijt" or "Oriental rug" is a traditional handwoven carpet created by the Ersari people sometime between 1800 and 1900. Its rich red ground is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and a narrow border, characteristic of Turkmen rug weaving. The design is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural traditions of the Ersari people, who are known for their distinctive rug styles with a focus on bold colors and symbolic motifs. The carpet's dimensions, 183 cm in height and 148 cm in width, speak to its intended function as a decorative and functional element within a home.
