Afshar masnad in classical Kirman pattern with unsurpassed cypres border. Best colors and softest wool. Professionally hand washed. 2nd half 19th century, wool on wool. Original selvedges. Corrosion in the red / brown colors and some wear. Small hole in the middle. Overall good condition. Size 55.1 x 46.7 inch (140 x 119). My son of 4,5 years old, who preferred a pile of rugs over his cradle, and who has a natural incling for how rugs were used, shows exactly what a masnad is for. He commented on the softness of the wool - lying down after this photo was taken.
