Afshar
Mid 19th century, 167 x 117 cm, South Persia
The garden design of five offset green cypresses in a white field, floral stems and small shrubs harks back to Kerman workshop models; here it has been translated into the geometric style of nomad pieces. Particularly appealing in palette, this well-drawn example was woven by an Afshar tribal group who had already settled in the surroundings of Kerman by the mid 19th century. – Well preserved, including the red kilim ends, new overcasting along the sides.
HERRMANN, EBERHART, Seltene Orientteppiche 10. München 1988, Nr.81 *** COLLINS, J.J., Flowers of the Desert. Newburyport 1989, Tf.48 *** BURNS, JAMES D., Visions of Nature. The Antique Weavings of Persia. New York 2010, Nr.66
