Old Persian Rug by the Afshari Tribes from the South of Iran, 1940s

About the Item

A fantastic old Persian rug by the Afshari tribes from the south of Iran. circa 1940. Hand spun wool on wool foundation with superb natural dyes. Very good condition with little signs of use and aging as depicted in the photos. Tribal rugs have been woven in the Near East and Central Asia for millennia, and they form one of the earliest and most enduring modes of human expression. The tribal weavers of the Caucasus and the western half of Persia were particularly prolific and artistically inspired. Their antique tribal rugs are prized by modern audiences for their elemental simplicity, exceptional inventiveness, and a timeless mastery of balance and harmony that appears equally fresh and immediate in contemporary settings.
