BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CHODOR TURKMEN ERTMAN-GUL MAIN CARPET

BEAUTIFUL EARLY ANTIQUE CHODOR TURKOMAN "Ertman-gul" MAIN CARPET, Central Asia, West Turkestan, 2nd third of the 19th century, and in very good overall condition for the collector. The exact size is: 7'-9" x 10'-4" (237 x 315 cm). An authentic antique Chodor Turkoman yurt carpet. Classic Ertman-gul design on an abrashed aubergine purple field. Wonderful use of 100% natural dyes including the seldom seen use of greens and yellows. Minor repairs and minor lower pile areas with a peek of foundation here and there, otherwise in excellent condition for its age. Original barber-pole side cord over-castings, some with repair. This lovely specimen of an authentic main tent carpet is strong and sturdy, yet quite supple and floppy to handle. It is ready for immediate use or a private collection. A textbook specimen for the specialist collector.

Please take a little extra time to view all of the other fine antique weavings of merit I have posted exclusively with eBay auction this week and remember to bookmark my eBay seller ID: IMOKUB2 (I am okay, you be too) to your "favorite sellers" list if you wish to see my weekly future offerings having this age, beauty, quality, condition, rarity, and collectible nature. NOTICE: ALL of my eBay listings come with an unconditional 100% money back refund guarantee (including ALL s/h/ins. fees) if for ANY reason at all the winning bidder is unhappy with their weaving purchase from me.

Additional note: This carpet may originate from the Bukhara Emirate before the Ersari Turkmen settled, thus earlier than my conservative dating.
