Antique Persian Afshar Bagface, 19th Century

About the Item

Antique Persian Afshar Bagface Bag, 19th Century The design pool of pile rugs and bags from South Persia often conform to known groups of motifs, but the patterns seen here do not. Akin to one example in the Rothberg collection (plate 126), Rothbnerg speculates that some of the motifs bear a resemblance to those seen in Turkmen rugs, recalling the origin of the tribe as one displaced from Central Asia and re-settled in Persia long ago. The similarity to the other published example is apparent, suggesting a limited production, possibly (as Rothberg muses) woven by a specific clan. The dynamic nature of the design is easily viewed over time, a veritable treat for the eyes in the same manner as one might appreciate a modern art painting. Additional Information: Dimensions: 1'8" W x 2'8" L Condition: Very good condition with obvious small areas of old faded re-knotting. Origin: Persia Period: 19th Century (4th Quarter) Rug ID: 24326
