Oriental Nomad rugs :
Gashghai, kashkuli, boukhara.
In nomadic tribes, rugs and kilims were of vital importance. They were used as insulation in the yurt, bags or saddlebags for everyday life (gorjin, mafresh ...). The ethnic and rustic side of these creations shows an authentic and artistic know-how.
Iran Afchar : 2,22 x 1,53 m
Iranian wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1960. Very good condition. The
borders were restored in our workshop. Normal wear and tear given the age of the carpet. Strong and durable mat.
Former nomadic population of ancient Eastern Armenia (Eastern Turkey) and Iranian
Azerbaijan, Afshar groups are located in Khorasan (north-eastern Iran), in the southern region of Kerman ( southern Iran) and in Fars (Southwest Iran).
This afchar from the Kerman region was woven by the afchars from around Shahre
Babak. The asymmetrical central medallion gives an authentic charm to this creation. Representations of 'göl' (flowers) and geometric patterns throughout the rug. Some abraches (term designating
a variation of tones in the same color).
Beluch Iran : 2,27 x 1,27 m
Rug from Khorassan, northeastern Iran, wool, cotton warp and weft, 1970-80. Good condition.
Over time, Turkmen ethnic groups have settled in Khorassan. Beautiful work in the
realization of this authentic carpet combining tradition and modernity in its design.
