Turkmen Beshir handmade wool rug 10.4 x 5.2 ft
A rare opportunity to own a genuine antique handmade wool room size Turkmen Beshir wool rug circa 1880 measuring 320 x 160 cm (10.4 x 5.2 ft ). A repetitive geometric and floral design in stunning antique red / pink field surrounded with the similar bands of inner and outer borders. Rug has been professionally cleaned and washed with both end kilims remarkably well preserved, some fading concentrated in one corner as well as areas of wear commensurate with the age in places, otherwise a very attractive piece which in my opinion a collectable piece.
About Beshir rugs: Beshir tribe is one of several subdivisions of the Ersari group of Turkmen people, who inhabit the Amu Darya Valley in Turkmenistan and parts of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. While Turkmen tribes came into this region as early as the 11th century A.D., the Beshir were part of a later group who came into the Amu Darya region in the 17th century after being forced out of their homeland in the Balkans by political turmoil.Because their origin is separate from other peoples in the Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan area, the rugs they manufacture have a distinct style.
Beshir rugs usually have very high-quality shiny wool with deep colours. The foundation is usually wool, though some of the Afghan Beshir use a mixture of wool and goat’s hair. In contrast to other Turkoman groups, the Beshir do not use guls (tribal emblems) as the basis of their designs. Instead, Beshir rugs feature all-over repeating patterns with images taken from nature, such as leaves vines and sometimes animals.
Beshir rugs are also distinct in colouring. While Turkoman rugs generally are dominated by deep reds and blues, Beshir rugs often place these shades alongside lighter, happier colours.
