Kerman · circa 1930

Afshar rug, boteh field

Price on request

196 × 142 cm · 6′5″ × 4′8″

Rows of botehs lean across a madder ground with the pleasant irregularity of hand-drawn repetition — no two quite agree. Afshar weavers south of Kerman produced small rugs of exactly this temper: dense, sturdy, saturated.

A useful scatter size that carries far more presence than its dimensions suggest.
