Measuring 10 ft 9 in x 8 ft 1 in (327.6 cms x 246.3 cms) this strikingly colored and traditionally patterned Oversized Oriental Style Rug was produced by weavers in Far South Eastern Anatolia around 60 years ago. These Vintage Oriental Afshar Style Oriental rugs are some of the few that merge both nomadic and village rug construction techniques. The name Afshar derives from the tribe who designed and originally created these rugs (also known as the Avsar). Weaving has always been a major part of the artistic creativity of this tribe, and it is still a valued skill which continues to be traditionally passed from one generation to the next across cultural and geographoc borders.
Finely woven and intricately patterned, this rug is more influenced by the fine Oriental weavings intended for commercial trade than the more rudimentary utilitarian village weavings made for domestic use. The quality and condition of this rug is first class as the top grade sheep wool colored by natural/vegetable dyes used in its' construction and the skill of the weaver have that the longevity and beauty of the rug is preserved, even though it has most certainly "outlived" the shepherds, shearers, spinners, dyers, craftsmen and artists who all contributed to its' creation.
