Antique Afshar Floral Cream Red and Blue Wool Persian Rug by Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Made with hand knotted wool originating between 1880-1890, this antique Afshar Persian rug enjoys one of the most uniquely meticulous variations of the cypress tree motif, a celebrated representation of the acclaimed tree of life symbol believed to signify eternal life and honorific themes seldom seen in this piece’s versatile size with such a hypnotic repetition. The further juxtaposition of the richer red and blue floral hues against the cream background draws the eye to several points of gravity in the field and intricate borders alike; a feat of handmade beauty with a dignified cultural aesthetic in rare, exceptionally preserved condition.
