Afshar salt bag, second half 19th century

Measurements: 71cm x 66cm

48 Knots per inch

Price: £200

A good tribal piece, quite crude in it’s knotting but with fresh colours and an entrancing diagonal striped field. I think the starry border sets off the main field beautifully.

Condition:

A couple of largish holes towards the neck which has been roughly lined with some old material. The backing has been crudely sewn up which can be seen in the photos. In need of some care but a beautiful piece.
