The carpet is in very good condition considering its age.
Dimensions: 149 cm x 195 cm in length
The colors are bright and this rare decoration with five large geometric flowers on a midnight blue field gives it a superb character.
Carpet born under the Kadjar dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century around 1900.
## The Kadjar dynasty or Kadjars: (Qājār,Qadjar,Qajar,Persian: قاجار) is a Turkmen dynasty which reigned over Iran from 1786 to 1925.
A very beautiful example, the edges are in mixed wool, the fringes like on many old carpets in mixed pile of different lengths.
In the south-east of Iran, around the city of Kerman, live the semi-nomads of the Afshar tribe, but also in the region of Shiraz.
Pierre Loti, passionate about orientalism, speaks of them in his writings in 1900 (Towards Ispahan) as marvels of colorful wool.
For a long time, these nomads lived in the northwest of Iran. Part of the population moved to the southeast where carpet manufacturing represented an important economic sector since the mid-19th century.
These rugs have shades of pink, red, ocher, many blues, purple and the majority of them have geometric patterns.
The most common pattern used is composed of a large central field with one or more square medallions.
Some decorations represent the skin of an animal stretched before being tanned.
What is typical of Afshar rugs is that they are relatively wide in relation to their length.
Afshar carpets are also marketed under the name Sirdjan Carpets.
