863. a pleasing old Afshar tribal rug

863. Provenance: Afshar tribe, southern central Persia

Size: 194 x 140 cm

Age: circa 1950

Condition: Good.

Notes: Soothing in its limited palette and structured, deliberate drawing, this would be a fine piece for a study or an area of the home with a semi-official function. The border of stylized flowerheads offsets the repeat boteh motifs within the main ground and medallions, nicely.
