A large vintage Afghan Turkmen Ersari carpet with a dense all-over gül field — hundreds of small quartered octagonal güls locked in a tight lattice across a deep oxblood-red ground, framed by a deep multi-band border. Hand-knotted in wool with the calm, hypnotic repetition that makes the Turkmen Bokhara field read as graphic and timeless. Colors run deep oxblood and madder red against midnight navy-black with ivory highlights — a rich, saturated, grounding palette. At over 13 feet, this oversize / palace-scale carpet fills a large living room, dining room, or open-plan space, and works across traditional, tribal, bohemian, eclectic, and mid-century interiors. Hand-knotted wool pile on a wool foundation. Good vintage condition with honest age character — even low-to-moderate pile and gentle patina consistent with use, priced accordingly. Original wool fringe and secured selvages. Measures 13'1" x 10'4" (157 in. x 124 in.).
