Description
Wow! Look at all these lions in the border of this fantastic Afshar rug!It is very unusual to find this stylised depiction of the Persian lion with the sun over its back symbolising the sun rising on the Persian Empire and more often seen in Persian city rugs. The rug is quite stunning in its own right but the use of the lion and sun border makes it quite unique and very desirable. The indigo ground contains three stylised flowers, bursting into life and I love the depiction of the two ivory trees on either side of the lower red flower. In very good condition albeit with some slight wool corrosion affecting the indigo-blue ground but only negligible.
Size: 1.73m x 1.20m (5' 8" x 4' 0").
Viewing by appointment only.
