Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. Amongst antique and decorative tribal rugs, ones made by Turkmen Beshir are the most sought after. The main attraction is their unusual geometric or floral designs in the form of repetitive bands in alternating colours. Although most of these splendid rugs have been subjected to years of usage and showing signs of wear, however, their charming presence has remained undiminished. This beautiful and genuine antique Beshir circa 1890 has the similar resemblance of such wonderful pieces. Measuring 330 x 158 cm (10.8 x 5 ft) its repetitive ornaments design in abrash red and blue colours makes any interior look gorgeous. This rug has remained in very good condition despite its age nad has been professionally cleaned and washed with both ends well intact and secured. Rarely such good condition Beshir rug can be sourced in the open market. 67191350 Read more
