Circa 1870 Afshar of the Qainate Arab tribes
Afshar Rug Gallery
RUG NAME: Afshar of the Qainate Arab tribes
GALLERY: Afshar
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: Circa 1870
ID(Jozan): no. 412
DESCRIPTION: Attribution: Afshar of the Qainate Arab tribes
Provenance: Qainate, Khorassan, east Iran
Function: rug, possibly a latent prayer rug
Date: Circa 1870
Size: 1.06 x 1.65m (3'6" x 5'5")
Materials: wool and camel
Technique: pile, asymmetrical knot open right
Conditon: missing the kilim end and several rows of knot at the bottom end and most of the kilim end at the top. The pile is in fair to good condition but low in the corrosive areas.
Comments: Popular thought has the Afshar tribe vacating Khorassan after the blinding and subsequent murder of Nadir Shah's nephew, the governor of Khorassan Shah Rokh, around 1790. A number of weavings, executed in the Khorassan ('Belouch') style containing characteristics of the Qainate Arabs and the Timuris of Khaf suggest that this exodus was not total.
This particular rug is an example of the vestigial remains of Khorassan Afshar clans. Though double ended, the emphasis effected by the scale and proliferation of iconography at the bottom end lends directionality and suggests this this rug served as a prayer rug.
The "tree" on camel field seen in this rug conforms with what we know to be "Belouch" but the similiarity quickly ends when we examine the specific motifs, the weave, and the palette. The wide primary border is common with Arab Belouch work but the minor borders, corner elements, and depressed warp weave are Afshar in nature. The camel hair ground figure patterning in this rug is interesting and unusual.
