A vintage Persian Afshar rug. Probably originally a saddlebag front, this SE Persian tribal rug displays totally abstracted palmettes and leaves on an old ivory ground. The blue-black border shows polychrome triangle chains. The rug is woven with a short warp. This is one of the most popular of Afshar bag face designs and it appears with varying degrees of abstraction.
