To satisfy that taste, rugs in this design were woven in the Caucasus, most often in Armenia. The \u003cstrong\u003eAfshar\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose origins lie in the Caucasus before their migration south, carried the motif with them into Persia, where it entered the weaving repertoire of Afshar, \u003cstrong\u003eSenneh, Bidjar and Bakhtiari\u003c\/strong\u003e looms — each adapting and reinterpreting the French rose in its own idiom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eProvenance and Tribal Tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAfshar\u003c\/strong\u003e are a Turkic tribal confederation settled across the Sirjan and Kerman regions of southern Persia. Their rugs are among the most collectible of the Persian tribal weaves, prized for a distinctive blend of geometric tribal drawing and softened, semi-floral motifs. Here the Gol Farang roses are scattered across the field in the free, additive manner of a village loom rather than arranged around a single medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted in \u003cstrong\u003e100% wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e and is genuinely \u003cstrong\u003eantique — over eighty years old\u003c\/strong\u003e.
