The "Paradise" of the Afshar. Afshar rug from the Sirjan area, Iran. Size is cm 120x170 ca. Datable 1870 by all those who saw/know it. Awesome pattern with over 500 stars and flowers in the centerfield. Magnificent saturated natural colors. Rare, antique, beautiful. It needs some caring due to 3 minor points that will have to be restored. Not rotten, not cracking, no stains. no painting..... This rug is extremely beautiful and worth caring. i would have kept it and sold in the right time, but the restorer i normally use had a health problem and went back home, to Turkey.
