Antique Oversized Ersari - Beshir Central Asian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Central Asia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional 19th-century weaving represents the finest nomadic traditions of the region. The specific tribal structure, known as Ersari-Beshir rugs, is characterized by powerful, repeating geometric guls set against rich, saturated grounds, reflecting the artistry of tribes located near the Central Asian borderlands. This piece is a magnificent example of rugs from Central Asia during the mid-Victorian era. The field is dominated by a stunning, aged madder dye, exhibiting the deep, resonant hues typical of the period. This particular shade, a sophisticated blend of crimson and terracotta, falls into the highly desirable category of coral color rugs.
