Central Asia, Early 20th Century

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a wool foundation. The pattern of squares enclosing stepped diamonds, scattered with tiny flowers, is typically found on larger, long Ersari rustic carpets. Its appearance in this small format is therefore quite rare. The piece features coral, dark blue, and sandy-straw panels and corners, framed by a narrow coral border with small floating crosses.
