Description
Size: 3 ft 10 in x 5 ft 2 in (1.17 m x 1.57 m) - Afshar Rug, Persia, circa 1890's - This antique Afshar rug features a large-scale repeating pattern that combines sophisticated compositional elements and colorful tribal influences. The clear snowy white field is covered with a millefleur mesh that links a triad of decorated cypress trees, which are revered as a symbol of longevity. The detailed repeating motifs and corollary designs have exceptional symmetry and rapport heightened by the robust color palette and strong contrasting outlines that define the smallest decorative elements. Grand borders filled with richly colored motifs and dramatic vines complement the strong, clear color palette and give the sophisticated designs a lively village appearance. Crisp white outlines, fiery reds and clear blue accents are artfully juxtaposed in a manner that follows Afshar design traditions.
