4'6x9'10 ft Vintage Afghan Ersari Hand Knotted Wool Runner Rug Crimson Red Navy Elephant Foot Gul Tribal Hallway Runner Rug

About this rug

This spectacular vintage Afghan Ersari runner rug is a bold and commanding example of classic Turkmen Elephant Foot gul weaving, hand-knotted by skilled artisans using 100% natural wool. Measuring 4'6x9'10 ft (137x300 cm), this large runner features a vivid crimson red field filled with two columns of large octagonal Elephant Foot gul medallions in deep navy blue — one of the most iconic and recognizable designs in Afghan tribal rug weaving tradition.
Each large octagonal gul is intricately filled with a bold geometric star and cross motif in contrasting crimson red, creating a stunning interplay of red and navy throughout the field. Small diamond connector motifs link each gul vertically, adding rhythm and flow to the repeating composition. The narrow border carries a continuous diamond chain and geometric running pattern in navy and red, framing the bold field design cleanly and elegantly.
The rich crimson red tones and deep navy blues have aged beautifully, giving this runner a vibrant yet warm antique quality. An exceptional statement piece for any hallway, living room, or large open space.
