Antique Persian Afshar rug, Size: 4'2"x5'8".
Afshar
The Afshar tribes are located in Kirman Province, in Southeast Iran. They weave mostly smaller rugs ( 3 x 5 to 5 x 7) in a wide range of semi-geometric to fully floral styles, the latter influenced by Kirman city carpets. They are eclectic both in weave and design, the result of both tribal heterogeneity, proximity to urban patterns and a long history of weaving for the market. A few carpets up to 20 long are found. The pile of Afshar rugs is short and the colors are vibrant. The best pieces are of 19th century date. A variety of other tribal pieces are woven: mostly saddlebags, but also animal trappings. Prayer rugs are avoided.
