Good Afshar or Khamseh rug Kerman area south central Persia second half 19th century 5ft.11in. x 4ft.8in. 1.80m. x 1.42m. Overall even wear in places. This rug represents a still controversial design group. Two examples illustrated by Bennett (Rugs and Carpets of the World p. 241 and Truly Tribal catalogue of an exhibition organised by Julian Homer [1988] pl. 36) described as Afshar are almost identical to the present piece and all are attributed to the Afshar principally because of their identical main and guard border designs. Another example of this type but with a yellow field surrounding the central dark blue medallion is illustrated by Opie Tribal Rugs of Southern Persia p. 87; this has the same pattern in a white ground inner guard as seen on our rug but a different main border design albeit one associated above all with the Afshar. However the Opie rug has the blue and white shisheh dermeh ends not known to be found on Afshar weavings and confined exclusively to rugs woven in Fars ( our rug has the remains of a red plainweave end at the top). Opie illustrates a second example with another version of this design p. 89 which is undoubtedly Khamseh and is quite distinct from the examples previously cited whilst Parham Masterpieces of Fars Rugs no. 29 illustrates yet another variant which is clearly Qashqa’i and unlike all the examples cited above is asymmetrically knotted.

Rug by the Baharlu tribe of the Khamseh Confederation Fars province second half 19th century 6ft.5in. x 4ft. 1.96m. x 1.22m. Overall wear heavy in one small area. See Opie Tribal Rugs of Southern Persia p.103 for a closely related rug.
