Gooch Luxury Hand Knotted Ersari Runner Rug, Red, L240 x W72 cm

Tradition is at the heart of this pure wool rug from Gooch Luxury.

Ersari is one of the most important Turkoman tribes, it's people are considered among the best weavers of the 24 clans with the most specialist and smallest clans being Ersari and Tekke. Originally nomadic, these proud people are mostly settled in Northern Afghanistan in the area bordered by Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. They weave fine rugs using traditional designs. These rugs are made using 100% hand-spun wool on cotton warp which has been dyed using traditional natural vegetable dyes. The rugs are then taken to a region in Pakistan where final bespoke touches are added to ensure the rug is finished to the highest standard.

In 1sqm of Ersari rugs there would be around 150000+ knots which allows for a fine density and lower pile to best showcase the pattern.

Worth Knowing: The exact design layout will differ depending on the size of rug you choose.
