AFSHAR NIRIZ GULI FARANG ("FOREIGN FLOWER")
Central Persian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This winsome tribal rug effortlessly captures the distinctive ambiance of this South Persian style through an enchantingly refined, blissful expression woven by hardy nomadic women. Animated bouquets of poppies, lilies, and cabbage roses descend the field, leaving sprigs and petals in their wake. Delicate autumn colors of nutmeg, bronze, teal, and indigo were brewed with a magical softness. The dyer, definitely a lifetime experienced master, clearly paid special attention to achieve the rug's exquisite, scintillating azure-hued ground. Throughout, knot-by-knot decisions were made to yield the sublime abrash color striations, highlights, and shadows that enliven this endearing rug’s three-dimensional effect. Such luxuriant, heavier pile is seldom so well maintained in 19th-century tribal rugs. However, this charmer has just that and is bound to regale its fortunate owners with decades of joyful admiration.
