Antique Afshar Tribal Carpet, Kerman Province, South ...
Item Ref
BM1302
This elegant carpet was made by Afshar nomads in Kerman Province, southern Persia, circa 1870-1880. The carpet is in very good overall condition and comprises a 'boteh' design on a madder-red ground - the boteh or flame symbol, originally believed to have originated in Kerman amongst the Zoroastrians. The carpet retains its plain-weave kilim skirts at both ends and I like the depiction of the three small quadrupeds in the lower left side of the red field.
Size: 2.60m x 1.45m (8' 6" x 4' 10").

This charming little square rug was probably a 'masnad' - a rug specifically made for visiting dignitaries such as the Shah or Khan to sit on when visiting this particular group of Afshar nomads at the end of the 19th century. The simple madder-red field is visually attractive as is the flower, bursting into life in the very centre - the mirror image of two vases emanating upwards at each end. Overall, the rug has an evenly low pile but no areas of severe wear, thus the reasonable price.
Size: 1.37m x 1.27m (4' 6" x 4' 2").

Rare Antique Afshar Tribal Rug, Khorassan Region, ...

BM/PS
Afshar rugs made in the Khorassan region of north-east Persia are rare. This stunning little rug with its two large Turkmen 'guls' on a glowing indigo-blue field, is superb. The guls incorporate a vegetable-dye rose-pink - an unusual but early colour also seen in the inner border. The rug oozes quality and has a strong Turkmen presence - an indication of the Afshar origins in eastern Turkistan before their mass migrations into Persia and eastern Anatolia in the 11th century.

Extremely finely knotted, this elegant rug was made by Afshar tribes in Kerman, southern Persia around 1860-1870. It is in very good condition with low-cropped woollen pile and a design of 2 stylized fish swimming around water-lilies in a water-garden - often referred to as the 'herati' pattern. The symbolic meaning of '2-fish' is happiness!

I found this magnificent Afshar tribal rug in an old English country house and I was sure it had never seen the light of day, never mind its filthy state! This was an exciting find as I knew that a good bath would bring up the glorious vegetable colours - and, as you can see from the photos, it certainly did! This is an early example of Afshar work - probably circa 1860-1870, made by Afshar nomads in the Sirjan region of southern Persia. The rug is complete with long plain-weave and brocaded skirts each end and overall is in good condition.

This stunning rug of the Afshar tribes of Neiriz in Kerman Province, southern Persia, was made around 1900. What I just love, is the use of a beautiful vegetable green in the floral lozenges which seems to shine out in that garden of paradise! The colour combination is wonderful and the rug is in very good condition.
