4x5.5 Antique Afshar Rug

:: Allover covered field in a serrated leaf design motif repeating with random alternating color fills in unusual early design style for the type. Wonderful abrashes throughout, better than average condition, an exceptional vivid color saturation and tone with all naturally derived dyes. Unusual to find in its original form without the end plain weave skirt being released / unraveled. Colors and shades include: Cobalt blue, sky blue, sapphire blue, madder root red, mallard green, dusty saffron yellow, beige, pale coffee brown, brick red, ivory, and more. Condition notes: Areas of pile, knot heads and foundation. Mostly secure sides and ends. Carpet has some thread bare areas along selvedge. Original plain weave mostly intact. Curling at corners will be eased and corrected through steaming prior to dispatch. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Persian Afshar rug made in Persia circa 1880's vintage. Size measures 4' x 5'5".
