Afshar Rugs: Large Afshar Bedding Bag

Large Afshar Bedding Bag

Size: 3 foot by 4 foot 6 inch.

This is a really exceptional intact Afshari Bedding bag. Most of these that I see have sumac faces but this one has a pile face.

This is a handmade Afshar Bedding Bag from Iran. The dyes are good. It dates to the mid to late 20th century.
