Description
Ersari - Beshir

All Beshirs are the work of the Ersari tribe along the Oxus River in what is now Uzbekistan, once the Khanate of Bokhara. Carpets tend to be long and narrow with semi-geometric designs or motives adapted from traditional Persian overall patterns. The ground color is a bright, clear red accented with yellow and blue. Too large for tribal use, they were made for houses and public buildings in and around the cities of the Khanate. All the good ones are 19th century.
