19th Century Persian Beshir Carpet
SKU
RT4937128
Beshir rugs are woven by the Beshir tribe of Turkmenistan in Central Asia.
These rugs are best known for their distinctive weaving style, in a region where most rugs produced by their neighbouring tribes can be recognised by their so-called ‘elephant foot’ pattern, and deep blues and reds.
Being an early example - dating to c. 1860 - this wonderful Beshir carpet boasts an extraordinarily high-quality weave, which lends a crisp clarity to its drawing. It employs a rare, charmingly spontaneous 'cloud band' design, in gracefully aged vegetable-dyed tones of red ochre and deep cornflower blue.
The uniformity of colour across the field and the border gives the composition a feeling of space and balance. Retained in very good condition for everyday use, with its borders preserved on all sides.
A sophisticated 19th Century tribal example, to suit a wide variety of spaces.
