Red Antique Ersari - Beshir Afghanistan Knotted Rug

Red Antique Ersari - Beshir Afghanistan Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional red tribal weaving originates from Afghanistan, representing the finest traditions of the Ersari Turkmen. The deep, saturated red palette of madder and indigo is characteristic of the nomadic artistry of the region, emphasizing durability and symbolic pattern. The field is dominated by highly stylized guls, rendered in a strict, powerful repetition that defines the visual rhythm of the piece. These primary motifs are framed by minor elements and serrated edges, creating a compelling example of traditional Central Asian geometric rugs. The rich red ground provides a striking contrast to the dark navy and black detailing. Woven during the early 20th century, this piece possesses the desirable patina and robust handle expected of genuine antique rugs.
