6'10x12'4 Ft Vintage Afghan Turkmen Ersari Handknotted Soft Pile Rug, All-Over Repeating Gul Red Black Wool | Living Dining Room Decor

About this rug

This impressive large vintage Afghan Turkmen Ersari handknotted rug features a mesmerizing all-over repeating gul lattice pattern covering the entire deep black field in rich crimson and dark red tones. Each individual gul is a precisely knotted stepped diamond with hooked angular edges and a nested inner diamond center — a classic Ersari Turkmen design signature woven across northern Afghanistan. Gold accent details punctuate the repeat, adding warmth and depth to the dramatic red-on-black palette.
The border system features a bold Greek key meander band, geometric step motifs, and repeating diamond chains in red, black, and gold — a clean, powerful frame for this commanding field. At a generous 6'10x12'4, this large-format rug fills any living room, dining room, or open-plan space with rich Afghan character and timeless elegance. A superb collector's piece in excellent vintage condition.
