This striking rug revives a classic design once woven by the Ersari, a Turkmen tribe of northern Afghanistan and the regions beyond. Inspired by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century examples, it faithfully preserves the bold geometry, rich colour palette, and symbolic language that made these weavings so distinctive.
The field is filled with ancient motifs and archetypal symbols, the most notable being the eight-pointed stars. This enduring symbol has appeared across the ancient world for thousands of years and is often associated with Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and fertility. Its continued appearance in tribal weaving speaks to the remarkable longevity of visual traditions passed from generation to generation.
Handwoven in Afghanistan using hand-spun wool and natural dyes, this rug combines historical authenticity with exceptional practicality. The quality of the materials makes it particularly suitable for heavy-use areas, while its powerful design brings character and cultural depth to any interior. More than a decorative object, it is a celebration of an enduring weaving tradition and a bridge between the craftsmanship of the past and the appreciation of a new generation.
