Antique Afshar Cross fine Persian Kilim Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Finely handwoven by Afshar nomads inhabiting the mountains of Kerman eastern Persia.
Made of some of the finest nomadic sourced wools and natural dyes, Afshar Kilims ( flatweaves) are world-famous for their unique designs and sense of colour.
Sumac style small stars or signatures are typically woven in the field and sides of Afshar Kilims and are a good sign for differentiating original pieces with copies.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
235 × 150 CM (7'9" × 4'11"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
About the length of a 3-seater sofa, so it sits just in front of it with the coffee table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island rather than a rug that came up short.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 35 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a double bed with 49 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
