White-ground Persian Afshar Rug dating to the late 19th century.
The Afshar are a highly fragmented tribe, with the largest group to be found in the area south of Kerman, where they mingled with other tribes and villagers. This mingling is reflected in their weavings, showing traces of different traditions and very diverse patterns. The rug in hand is a good illustration of this marriage of traditions. Its all-over design of shield-like patterns contains floral elements while at the same time being geometric in layout.
For further discussion of Kerman as well as Turkoman influences on our website, see https://www.christopherleggeorientalcarpets.com/products/view/white-ground-persian-afshar-rug/.
The white ground gives the restricted colour palette a great lift.
The rug is woven in wool on a wool foundation and is in very good condition.
