About the Item
Antique Persian Afshar Rug, Late 19th Century
Woven against a rustic camel ground, this Afshar rug draws two stylized potted plants, from top and bottom, each culminating at the center in colorful floral bursts of indigo, green, burgundy, and tangerine. This imagery, borrowed from urban Persian workshop carpets and Persian decorative arts of the late Qajar period in general, is surprisingly popular in Afshar tribal rugs, and despite layers of transformation and adaptation, the original neoclassical aesthetic may still be seen. See an older but related example in Cecil Edwards, ‘The Persian Carpet.

- Afshar Rug, 19th centuryLocated in San Francisco, CAAfshar Rug 17463, 19th century Exuding elegance, this finest of Afshar rugs is woven with symmetrical knots and a delicateness that approaches petit point. Afshar pile weaving was greatly inspired by the textile traditions of Persia, particularly that of Kerman. The Afshars of south Persia were centered around Kerman, which was an important weaving center on the Indian trade route. While Persian models largely shaped artistic styles and design in Mughal India throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, during the 19th century Kerman and southeastern Persia absorbed tastes emanating from their eastern neighbor. In fact, the insect-derived red dye used in the field of this remarkable piece is most likely Indian lac. Lac was utilized in the workshop carpets of Kerman, as well as for the shawls woven in the region. This piece displays superb color.
