6'9x9'9 Ft Antique Afghan Turkmen Ersari Handknotted Soft Pile Large Area Rug, All-Over Flower Gul Deep Red Black Wool | Living Room Decor

About this rug

This breathtaking antique Afghan Turkmen Ersari handknotted rug presents a magnificent all-over repeating large-scale flower gul layout across a dramatic deep black field, each bold gul rendered in vivid crimson red with intricate nested cross, diamond, and hooked petal infill details — glowing like jewels against the dark ground. Unlike the classic oval Bokhara gul, these are distinctly large open-faced floral guls with extended hooked arms and elaborate interior geometric patterning — a rare and highly prized Ersari design variant from the antique period of Afghan Turkmen weaving. The natural wool dye depth and rich abrash variation across the field speak to the exceptional quality of this antique piece.
The wide multi-border system features a bold main border of repeating geometric cartouche medallions in red and ivory, flanked by multiple guard borders of fine geometric running patterns and a distinctive multicolor kilim-woven elem end panel — all classic hallmarks of high-quality antique Ersari Turkmen border construction. At 6'9x9'9 with a luxuriously soft full pile in remarkable antique condition, this large area rug is an exceptional collector's investment piece.
