Antique Afshar Persian Ivory 1857 Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1857. This exceptional piece from the mid-Qajar era represents a rare convergence of tribal artistry and sophisticated floral design, characteristic of the finest Persian rugs produced during this period. The inscription visible in the upper border further elevates its historical significance and provenance. The field presents an exquisite all-over millefleur pattern, densely populated with naturalistic rose blossoms rendered in soft reds, blush pinks, and muted greens. This romantic, highly detailed design is set against a luminous ivory ground, which allows the complexity of the botanical motifs to flourish without visual heaviness.
