Afshar Sofreh
Size: 1.30m x 1.34m (4'3 x 4'5) £420.00
These colourful carpets and rugs are hand-woven in Fars province of south-west West Asia and are brought to market in the Capital city of Shiraz, near the ancient city of Persepolis. The Qashqa'i tribes, now largely settled, who weave these beautiful rugs are particularly well known for their use of vibrant colours, achieved through high quality, hand spun and often natural dyed yarns. The designs are well executed showing Caucasian influence, with the "chain medallions" frequently encountered, along with combs, stylised birds and animals. They are woven on a horizontal ground loom, with a foundation of ivory woollen warps and characteristically red dyed wefts, having edges over wrapped in different coloured yarns producing an attractive barber's pole effect.

Kashan Rug c. 1900
Size: 2.13m x 1.37m (7'0 x 4'6) £2,900.00
c. 1900
Kashan is a city in the North of central West Asia and is famous for weaving some of the best quality carpets being produced. They are exceptionally hard wearing and highly decorative. These elegant rugs are constructed on a cotton foundation with a woollen pile, sometimes having accents of silk or woven entirely with silk.
Kashan rugs have been crafted since the 16th and 17th century, during the Safavid dynasty, with many scholars believing that some of the smaller silk designs date back to the early 16th century. Taking inspiration from the architects and artists of the period.
Many Kashan’s are distinctive with their traditional floral designs with deep reds and blues in the centre panel and border. They can also have only small accents of red and a main ground of mostly ivory and navy, making them similar to a Nain but woven in the city of Kashan. Depending on their size and colour they can work very well in both a bedroom as well as a hallway or living room for example.

Size: 2.04m x 1.39m (6'8 x 4'7) £2,400.00
Antique Fereghan Rug is situated in mountainous country within an important weaving area in North West West Asia. The carpets taking the name of Heriz are woven in the villages within a 30 mile radius of the town by the same name. Many different qualities and variations on a similar design are produced. The typical Heriz carpet has a strictly rectilinear medallion design that has changed little over many decades; older rugs have madder grounds and medallions mostly of indigo, today these colours are still evident but with some additions of light blue, medium green, terracotta and warm yellows. Heriz carpets have a foundation of cotton warps and wefts, a thick and long pile of excellent wool, thus producing hard-wearing durable carpets.
Construction. Cotton warp, wool pile and cotton weft.
This carpet has a beautiful if slightly quirky design. The strong bold central medallion typical of Heriz carpets is slightly off centre emphasising the joy of hand made carpets. The colours are superb with all the rich colours typical of Heriz carpets. Full of character.
