A rare and vibrant late 19th century Afshar tribe area rug. The Afshar weaving tradition of southeast Persia offers a fascinating tribal interpretation of more formal Persian workshop weaving. It is thought that the pomegranate motifs that are emblematic of Qashqai artistry, but this rug is certainly woven by the neighboring tribe (the Afshars). The ancient symbolism of the pomegranate, signifying fertility and abundance, is vividly captured in this piece. Carmel is simply too precious to be used on the floor, hence we recommend hanging it on your wall. The wool quality and saturate dyes on this rug are exquisite. This rug not only graces your space with a touch of history but also carries with it the spirit of a bygone era, making it a true collector's treasure.
