Country House and Eastern Interiors has dated this piece to the 1850s.
MAYBE FIRST HALF 19TH CENTURY,CERTAINLY MID 19TH CENTURY.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS IS AN EARLIER AFGHAN WEAVING THAN PRACTICALLY MOST YOU SEE.
ALSO THERE ARE NO MOTIFS OR MEDALLIONS BETWEEN EACH OCTAGON,PRACTICALLY 99% OF THESE AFGHANS DO HAVE A FILLER ORNAMENT OF SOME SORTS IN BETWEEN.THIS ONE IS PLAIN AND UNDECORATED.
ANOTHER INDICATOR OF AN EARLIER DATE IS THE TWIN MINOR GUARD STRIPES WITH REPEAT HOUR GLASS OR DRUM MOTIFS IN A VIVID BLUE EITHER SIDE OF A DIAMOND PATTERN.
DOES HAVE CONDITION ISSUES. NAMELY FOUR HOLES,WEAR,SIDE CORD WEAR AND LOSS,END LOSSES. STILL CAN BE USED AS IS PERFECTLY WELL.
THE APPEAL IS IN AN APPRECIATION AND STUDY AS AN EARLIER CARPET FROM THIS GROUP OF TRIBAL WEAVINGS.
9 FOOT 3 INCHES BY 7 FOOT. 282CM X 214CM. ALL WOOL CONSTRUCTION.
IT IS BECOMING ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT RESTORING RUGS IS A FALSE ECONOMY,I HAVE MANY COMPLETELY RESTORED,NO ONE WANTS TO PAY THE PRICES SO NOW RUGS ARE LISTED AS IS WITH ALL FAULTS IMAGED AND MENTIONED. ALSO THEY ARE THE FRACTION OF THE PRICE OF RESTORED RUGS.
SUCH IS THE TIMES WE LIVE IN. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO SELL RESTORED RUGS. MINE FROM NOW ON WILL BE AS IS. UNLESS SOMETHING OF INTEREST APPEALS TO ME THEN I WILL RESTORE IT FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK.
PRICE IS NOT 4-8 THOUSAND AS THESE CAN BE BUT £695 GBP PRICED ACCORDINGLY DUE TO CONDITION.
U.K POST £24. item now sold.
ZTR 205
NOW SELLING A RANGE OF RUGS AND CARPETS UNRESTORED UNLESS SAYS OTHERWISE.
