Understated 1890s Beshir Carpet
About the Item
Beshir rugs are woven by the Beshir tribe of Turkmenistan in Central Asia. They are best known for their distinctive weaving style, in a region where most rugs produced by their neighbouring tribes can be recognised by their so-called elephant foot pattern and deep blues and reds.
This 19th-century example features a pomegranate blossom motif, inspired by earlier weavings of the 18th Century, symbolising prosperity, longevity and fertility, with a muted aubergine grey field and a variety of earthy, vegetable-dyed colours in its design. Its weaving has a precision and clarity uncommon in carpets of its type - truly a carpet of one-of-a-kind craftsmanship and artistry.
This Beshir carpet is in very good condition for everyday use. It still retains the original dozen borders on all sides, together with original fringes - a remarkable feature for a rug of this age.
An exquisite tribal piece with an understated feel in both colour and design, and in a rare large format, which would make a wonderful addition to a wide variety of settings.
