AFSHAR
Central Persian Antique Rug

(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") An outstanding quality weaving from the celebrated South Persian Afshar tribe presents the undeniable stamp of an accomplished artist entirely at ease with creative innovations without straying from the Afshar style. A trio of interconnected diamond medallions commands the center of a starlike blossom studded reserve of midnight blue. This uniquely shaped area is formed by stepped peninsulas that jut out toward the ivory medallions. A plethora of dazzling stylized flowers pulsate with luminous color throughout the composition. Very high-quality wool, most likely procured from the weaver's own flock, helps to illuminate its rich, glowing color palette of antique copper, lava reds, golden wheat, and gleaming lapis blues are juxtaposed in this visually elemental gem constructed with an artist's intuition, guided by collective memory. This exuberant, joy-inducing rug is framed by seven finely woven borders, which further attests to an extremely skillful weaver.
