Antique Persian Afshar Accent Carpet
No. 29559
Persia, Early 20th Century
6 ft. 2 in. x 8 ft. 9 in.
(1.86 x 2.65 m)
A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a wool foundation. Afshars and Khamsehs are often, and rightly, confused, but this large tribal scatter is unmistakably from southern Persia, featuring seven offset rows of reversing botehs on a baby blue/pearl ground. The filler birds reveal the origin, as does the main border, which is adorned with layered, bold botehs and leaves on a brown ground.
