Magnificent and captivating Central Asian antique Ersari rugs:
Ersari rugs, are those area rugs that were crated and woven by the Ersari Turkmen people (the Central Asian ethnic group) in Turkmenistan as well as Uzbekistan. Contrary to the custom of the other Turkmen people (Such as the Iraqi, Lebanese, Syrian or other groups that go by the “Turkmen” name) , the Ersari people have no official design or motif that is specifically unique to them. This is why the tribal antique Ersari rugs may feature designs seen in other tribal rugs from other origins. Examples of such patterns can be adaptations of diamonds, garden designs, Chinese cloud bands, mina khani patterns, Persian herati fish designs, and so forth.
The antique Ersari Central Asian tribal rugs tend to incorporate the use of yellow colors more than we see in other antique rugs made that were woven by other tribes. In addition, as far as the background colors go, two shades of blue are usually blended together with a darker brown color in their own unique fashion.
The antique Ersari Islamic Prayer deign rugs are different from the ones woven by different Turkmen. This is because most of the Ersari prayer rugs tend to have a very clearly drawn out prayer-niche design or Mihrab /arch at the very top of the rug (this is created as a marker to show where to point the rug in the direction of the Muslim the holy city of Mecca). The specific Ersari woven prayer design area rugs are some of the most beautiful rugs in the world.
As far as the construction of the antique Ersari carpets, these tribal rugs tend to be woven with a more loose weave than other Turkmen woven rugs. But the wool that was used in knotting the antique Ersari rugs is one of the highest grade and most soft to the touch.
Needless to say, the Central Asian rugs, woven by the Ersari Turkmen weavers, are some of the most beautiful and most collectible rugs. They are sought after by rug collectors for their unique tribal influenced rug designs, beautiful use of colors and overall sophisticated artistic approach.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
