Description

Dating to around 1900, this charming Persian Village rug was woven by settled Afshar weavers in the Sirjan district of south-east Persia, close to the city of Kirman. Although the solid structure of the weave, the drawing and format are very much in the rural style of the area, the inclusion of two large stylised vases in the field design suggests the influence of the famous 17th century Kirman 'Vase' carpets. As is quite typical with all the tribal groups in Persia, the Afshar weavers often took inspiration for designs from the local city woven carpets which in this case is Kirman where a major carpet weaving industry has existed since Safavid times. The two vases are a clear reference to the famous carpets, but they are combined with other geometric motifs and stylised trees to create a very charming composition. The colours are also very attractive, with a lovely abrashed pale red field, light blues and sapphire blues, whites and yellows. The rug is in generally good condition. There is one repair to note along the bottom right border. But otherwise the piece is sound and sturdy. Professionally cleaned. This rug is offered at a very keen price.
