156161, 230 × 150 cm, A Vintage Persian Afshar Gol Farang Rug
SGD 0.00
A vintage Persian Afshar rug from south-eastern Iran, woven in wool on a cotton foundation. Its Gol Farang, or foreign flower, pattern descends from floral textiles imported from Europe in the late 19th century. Repeated from visual memory across generations, the bouquets became increasingly abstract and distinctly local. The apparent symmetry gives way to engaging variations throughout the field.
