Description from the seller
Hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen Engsi / Parda Rug - 180 x 115 cm - Pure wool on wool - Traditional tribal geometric design
• Country of origin: Afghanistan
• Style / Design: Traditional Afghan-Turkmen (Engsi / Parda design)
• Dimensions: approx. 180 x 115 cm
• Pile material: 100% pure wool (hand-spun)
• Warp/weft material: Wool on wool (fully authentic tribal construction)
• Knotting technique: Fully hand-knotted
• Colors: Deep red, Bordeaux, black, dark brown and fine ivory-white accents
This beautiful Oriental rug is an authentic piece of nomadic art, handcrafted by Turkmen weavers in the border region of Afghanistan. The design features the characteristic Engsi (or Parda) motif, traditionally used as ceremonial tent doorway or wall decoration. The field is divided into geometric compartments with stylized tree- or bird-motifs, surrounded by a rich, layered border full of tribal symbols.
Thanks to the use of high-quality hand-spun wool and natural dyes, the rug has a warm, deep appearance and the pile feels soft. A very durable and characterful piece that fits perfectly in both classic, industrial, and modern bohemian interiors.
The rug is in good used condition with signs of age and wear
