Item Details
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.
Condition
This very beautiful Afshar carpet, dated turn of the twentieth century, features an even, low pile. Extremely clear design and images throughout. Carpet is finely woven. Carpet has undergone several repairs, done professionally, to bring it up to shape. Overall condition good.
